2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | Despite the CVSS 4.8 score, multiple factors substantially mitigate real-world risk. The CVSS vector indicates PR:H (requires high privilege - administrative role) and UI:P (requires user interaction - a victim must view the injected content), creating dual gates against exploitation. EPSS exploitation probability data is not provided, but the requirement for both administrative access and victim interaction strongly suggests low practical exploitability despite the vulnerability being stored (persistent). The vulnerability carries no integrity or availability impact (VI:N, VA:N), only low confidentiality impact (VC:L), limiting the attacker's ability to cause system compromise. There is no KEV (CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) status and no publicly available POC identified, indicating this is not a priority internet-wide threat. Organizations using Pega should treat this as a maintenance-level patch rather than an emergency - prioritize patching administrative interface security but deprioritize relative to network-accessible vulnerabilities with lower attack complexity or unauthenticated access. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A disgruntled or compromised Pega administrator with access to UI component customization injects malicious JavaScript into a form field or dashboard widget that is widely viewed by other users. When other employees or customers interact with the affected page, the stored script executes in their browsers, potentially exfiltrating session tokens or sensitive form data. However, given the high-privilege requirement (administrative access) and the need for a victim to interact with the component, such attacks are typically limited to insider threats or follow-up exploitation after an admin account compromise, not opportunistic internet-wide attacks. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 31, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Pega Platform versions 8.1.0 through 25.1.0 allows authenticated administrative users with extensive access rights to inject malicious scripts into user interface components, potentially compromising the confidentiality of other users who interact with affected UI elements. The vulnerability requires high-privilege administrative access and user interaction to exploit, resulting in a CVSS 4.8 (low severity) with no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Organizations should apply the vendor-released patch from Pega as documented in the official security advisory at https://support.pega.com/support-doc/pega-security-advisory-o25-vulnerability-remediation-note. The advisory provides specific patched version numbers and installation instructions for affected Pega Infinity deployments. As an interim mitigation pending patch deployment, restrict administrative UI component editing privileges to trusted personnel, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block script injection patterns in POST/PUT requests to Pega configuration endpoints, and review audit logs for unauthorized modifications to UI components. For defense-in-depth, ensure Content Security Policy (CSP) headers are enforced on all Pega platform deployments to limit XSS payload execution even if stored injection occurs.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) flaw occurring in a Pega Platform user interface component. Pega Infinity is a low-code business process management and customer engagement platform built on Java/enterprise architecture. Stored XSS vulnerabilities in such platforms typically arise when user-supplied input (form fields, configuration parameters, or custom UI elements) is persisted in a backend database and subsequently rendered in the browser without proper output encoding or sanitization. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:pegasystems:pega_infinity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all versions of Pega Infinity, with the specific vulnerable range confirmed as 8.1.0 through 25.1.0. The attack surface is limited to authenticated administrative users, significantly constraining real-world risk in multi-tenant or role-based access control environments.
