A flaw was found in FreeIPA. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit a DOM Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the FreeIPA/IdM Web UI password reset page. By enticing a victim to click a specially crafted link and complete a password reset, the attacker could inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code. This allows the attacker to perform actions within the victim's authenticated session, potentially leading to full administrative control if an IdM administrator is targeted.
AnalysisAI
DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting in the FreeIPA/IdM Web UI password reset page allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's authenticated browser session. By crafting a malicious URL targeting the password reset page and socially engineering a victim into clicking it and completing the reset flow, the attacker hijacks the active session. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must click a specially crafted link to the FreeIPA/IdM Web UI password reset page AND complete the password reset interaction in their browser - passive browsing or merely opening the link is insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) accurately captures the attack profile: unauthenticated, network-reachable, low complexity, but dependent on a victim completing a multi-step interaction (clicking link and finishing a password reset). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the Red Hat-issued update for the ipa package on all affected RHEL versions as detailed in the advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-18147. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
