Overview
This article provides a comprehensive overview of CVE-2025-11884, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting OpenText uCMDB version 24.4. This vulnerability allows an attacker with high-level access to uCMDB to inject malicious scripts into the application’s data, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
Technical Details
CVE-2025-11884 is a Stored XSS vulnerability. It occurs because uCMDB fails to properly neutralize user-supplied input during web page generation. An attacker with sufficient privileges (high-level access to uCMDB) can create or update data records within uCMDB, embedding malicious JavaScript code within these records. When other users view these records through the uCMDB interface, the injected script will execute in their browsers, potentially allowing the attacker to:
- Steal user session cookies and credentials.
- Deface the uCMDB interface.
- Redirect users to malicious websites.
- Gain unauthorized access to sensitive data.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, the CVSS score for CVE-2025-11884 is not available (N/A). However, given the nature of Stored XSS and the requirement for high-level access, it’s anticipated that the CVSS score will likely reflect a moderate to high severity, depending on the scope of impact and exploitability. We will update this section as soon as the official CVSS score is released.
Possible Impact
The impact of CVE-2025-11884 can be significant. Successful exploitation could lead to:
- Data Breach: Sensitive information stored within uCMDB could be compromised.
- Account Takeover: Attacker could hijack user accounts.
- System Compromise: Injected scripts could potentially be used to gain further access to the underlying server infrastructure.
- Reputation Damage: A successful attack could damage the organization’s reputation.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
The primary mitigation strategy is to apply the official patch released by OpenText. Follow these steps:
- Identify Affected Systems: Determine if your uCMDB instance is running version 24.4.
- Apply the Patch: Download and install the patch provided by OpenText. Refer to the official OpenText documentation for detailed instructions.
- Verify Patch Installation: After applying the patch, verify that the vulnerability has been successfully addressed.
- Review User Privileges: Ensure that user privileges are configured according to the principle of least privilege. Limit high-level access to only those users who absolutely require it.
Note: It’s crucial to test the patch in a non-production environment before deploying it to your production environment.
