Description
The issue is related to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the REST API of IBM Business Process Manager. This vulnerability allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL. The exploitation of this vulnerability can enable a remote attacker to embed arbitrary web or HTML code using a specially formed URL.
Recommendations
For versions 7.5.x through 7.5.1.2, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
For versions 8.0.x through 8.0.1.3, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
For versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.0.1, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
For versions 8.5.5 through 8.5.5.0, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
For versions 8.5.6 through 8.5.6.0, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the REST API until a patch is available.
