CVE-2025-40901HTML injection in Credentials Manager in Guardian/CMC before 26.1.0
Medium 5.9
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in CMC from Nozomi Networks. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 9% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A Stored HTML Injection vulnerability was discovered in the Credentials Manager functionality due to improper validation of an input parameter. An authenticated user with administrative privileges can define a malicious identity containing HTML tags. When a victim attempts to delete the affected identity, the injected HTML renders in their browser, enabling phishing and possibly open redirect attacks. Full XSS exploitation and direct information disclosure are prevented by the existing input validation and Content Security Policy configuration.
