The vulnerability (CWE-87, Improper Neutralization of Alternate XSS Syntax) arises because the AI answer rendering pipeline passes output directly to the browser DOM without stripping or encoding malicious script constructs. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The AI answer feature must be enabled and actively generating responses visible to users. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment No CVSS vector was provided with this CVE, which prevents formal scoring of attack vector, complexity, or privilege requirements - these signals are unconfirmed and cannot be inferred with confidence. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with the ability to influence AI-generated content - either by crafting prompts that cause the AI to emit alternate-syntax XSS payloads, or by manipulating platform inputs that feed the AI - causes a malicious script to be embedded in an AI-generated answer. When any user views that answer in their browser, the unsanitized content is rendered and the script executes in the victim's browser context, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement. …
Remediation Upgrade to Apache Answer version 2.0.1, which is confirmed by the vendor advisory to fix this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
