Description
Verba is affected by a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability within its login logging mechanism. When an unauthenticated remote attacker attempts to log in using an incorrect username and password combination, the supplied username value is recorded in the application logs. Due to lack of input sanitization, an attacker can inject a malicious XSS payload into the username field.
This payload will be executed in the context of the administrator’s browser when the admin accesses the web application's log viewer.

The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond to our messages. This issue was fixed in version 10.0.6

AI Analysis

Impact

Verba’s login logging mechanism stores the user‑supplied username unfiltered when a login attempt fails. An unauthenticated remote attacker can insert a malicious XSS payload into the username field, which is then persisted to the application logs. When an administrator later accesses the log viewer, the injected script executes in the administrator’s browser.

Affected Systems

Verint’s Verba application is affected. All releases prior to version 10.0.6 contain the flaw; the issue was corrected in 10.0.6.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker can exploit the flaw remotely without authentication by submitting a crafted username during a failed login attempt. When admins subsequently visit the log viewer, the payload will execute in their browser.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Verba to version 10.0.6 or later.
  • Limit access to the log viewer to authenticated administrators only or disable the log viewer if not needed.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, configure the application to sanitize the username input before logging or escape log output to prevent script execution.
