CVE-2025-12454

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation vulnerability has been discovered in OpenText™ Vertica.

Published Mar 13, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') vulnerability in OpenText™ Vertica allows Reflected XSS.
The vulnerability could lead to Reflected XSS attack of cross-site scripting in Vertica management console application.This issue affects Vertica: from 10.0 through 10.X, from 11.0 through 11.X, from 12.0 through 12.X, from 23.0 through 23.X, from 24.0 through 24.X, from 25.1.0 through 25.1.X.

Analysis

Technical impact

The vulnerability originates from improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the OpenText Vertica management console. According to the vendor description, it permits reflected cross‑site scripting (XSS) where an attacker can inject malicious scripts into a response that is returned to a victim’s browser. This could lead to session hijacking, data theft, or unauthorized actions performed in the context of the authenticated user.

Affected Systems

Affected products are OpenText Vertica versions from 10.0 through 10.X, 11.0 through 11.X, 12.0 through 12.X, 23.0 through 23.X, 24.0 through 24.X, and 25.1.0 through 25.1.X.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate risk, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation would occur via the management console’s web interface and requires a victim to visit a crafted link or execute code within the console, implying user interaction is necessary. The lack of remote code execution and the requirement for authentication or access to the console limit the overall threat surface, but the impact remains significant for exposed management interfaces.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
