AI Analysis

Impact

Pega Platform versions 8.1.0 through 25.1.1 contain a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in a user interface component. An attacker who can acquire a high‑privileged user account with a developer role could inject malicious script that is persisted and executed by other users when the affected UI is rendered. The flaw falls under CWE‑79 and allows the attacker to run arbitrary client‑side code, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user sessions within the Pega environment.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all Pegasystems Pega Infinity installations built from version 8.1.0 to and including 25.1.1. No specific patch versions are listed in the advisory; users should verify the installed version against the list and consider upgrading if possible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates a low‑medium severity. Exploitation requires the attacker to possess a high‑privilege developer account, which limits the attack surface but still presents a significant risk if such accounts are compromised or improperly managed. EPSS information is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that broad, automated exploitation is not currently documented. Nonetheless, the combination of high privilege and persistent XSS warrants monitoring and timely remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Pega Infinity to a version newer than 25.1.1 or apply any vendor‑supplied patch that removes the vulnerable UI component.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the affected component by limiting developer‑role permissions or disabling the component in the application configuration. Ensure that only trusted, required personnel can create or edit content that may be rendered in the vulnerable UI.
  • Implement proper output encoding or sanitization on any user‑supplied data rendered by the component, following the practices recommended for preventing cross‑site scripting attacks.
