Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with sufficient privilege to create or edit BloX dashboard widgets through the /api/dashboards/<id>/widgets/<id> endpoint (PR:L), since the attacker must submit crafted HTML/JavaScript in the widget 'desc' or 'text' parameters. Because the payload is stored and only fires on render, a second user must open and view the affected widget for the script to execute (UI:A) - it is not fully automatic or self-contained. Limiting factors: attacker must already hold a valid low-privilege account on the platform, the BloX widget feature must be in use, and a victim must load the malicious widget; impact is bounded to data and actions available within the victim's authenticated browser context. This is therefore authenticated, interaction-dependent exploitation rather than remote unauthenticated attack against a default configuration.

Impact

This is a stored XSS (CWE-79) in Sisense Cloud BI Platform BloX widgets with a vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.3. The vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:L/VA:L/SC:H/SI:L/SA:L) signals network reach with low attack complexity, but it also requires attacker privileges (PR:L - an authenticated account able to write widget content) and passive victim interaction (UI:A - a user must render the malicious widget). The elevated score is driven largely by the subsequent-system confidentiality impact (SC:H), reflecting that injected script executes in the victim's authenticated browser session and can read data visible in that BI context. The decision signals pull in opposite directions: EPSS is low at 0.39% (33rd percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit referenced, yet vuln.today assigns a 'this_week' priority and a patch is already available. Net read: this is a genuine, patch-now authenticated stored-XSS in an enterprise analytics product rather than a mass-exploitation emergency - the low EPSS and absence of KEV/PoC argue against imminent widespread attack, while the this_week label and available fix argue for prompt remediation. No conflicting data between CVSS and description was identified; both describe authenticated, stored, browser-executed script affecting confidentiality.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privilege user with rights to edit a dashboard submits a BloX widget via /api/dashboards/<id>/widgets/<id>, placing malicious HTML/JavaScript in the 'desc' or 'text' parameters. When another user (potentially higher-privileged) opens the dashboard, the stored script executes in their authenticated session and can exfiltrate data accessible in that BI context. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis; exploitation is plausible but requires both an attacker account and a victim viewing the widget (UI:A).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Sisense Cloud BI Platform's BloX widgets allows an authenticated user with widget authoring privileges to place HTML and JavaScript in the 'desc' and 'text' fields via /api/dashboards/<id>/widgets/<id>; the script runs when another user renders the widget, potentially exposing data available to that victim's session. The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.3, and exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account plus victim interaction. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.39% (33rd percentile).

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available per the INCIBE advisory at https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-sisenses-cloud-bi-platform; the supplied data does not state an exact fixed version, so confirm the fixed build with the vendor before closing the finding. Because exploitation requires an authenticated account able to create or edit BloX widgets and a victim who renders the widget, restrict widget authoring to trusted users and limit access to dashboards containing untrusted widget content; these controls reduce exposure but restrict dashboard customization and sharing.

Technical ContextAI · show details

BloX widgets are dashboard components in Sisense Cloud BI Platform, and the affected API endpoint stores user-supplied content in the 'desc' and 'text' parameters before it is rendered in a browser. The flaw is CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input during web page generation) in its stored form: the API accepts HTML and JavaScript content, and the code executes when the widget is rendered. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:sisense:cloud_bi_platform:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is wildcarded to the product, while EUVD records the affected range as Cloud BI Platform 0 <27/10/2026. The CVSS 4.0 vector shows PR:L and UI:A, and the independent assessment uses CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N, so this is authenticated, interaction-dependent exploitation rather than a remote unauthenticated attack; the supplied sources do not describe additional validation or encoding behavior beyond the API accepting HTML and JavaScript content.

DescriptionCVE.org

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in BloX widgets. The /api/dashboards/<id>/widgets/<id> API accepts HTML and JavaScript content in the ‘desc’ and ‘text’ parameters. The code entered is executed in the browser when the widget is rendered, which could compromise the confidentiality of the information accessible in that context.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Sisense Cloud BI Platform contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in BloX widgets that allows a low-privilege authoring user to embed malicious script that executes in the browsers of colleagues who view the dashboard. This puts sensitive data exposed to those viewers' sessions at risk within the analytics environment, which often aggregates financial and operational data. Leadership should care because the affected population is internal BI users with elevated data visibility, and compromise could undercut trust in the reporting platform.
