Impact

Progress MarkLogic Server versions 12.x before 12.1.0 and 11.x before 11.3.7 contain a cross‑site scripting vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to execute script in the context of an authenticated user’s browser session, which can lead to unauthorized actions or disclosure of user–specific information.

Affected Systems

Product: Progress MarkLogic Server from Progress Software Corporation. Vulnerable releases are any 12.x builds older than version 12.1.0 and any 11.x builds older than version 11.3.7.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 rates this as a medium‑severity vulnerability. No EPSS score is available, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires remote access to a web interface and an authenticated user's session, indicating that the attack vector is remote but needs prior authentication. The absence of a high EPSS score suggests that widespread exploitation may not yet be observed, but the potential for session‑level compromise remains significant.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MarkLogic Server to version 12.1.0 or later, or to 11.3.7 or later, to remove the XSS flaw
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable or limit any user‑controlled content rendering features that are susceptible to injection, or enforce strict sanitization of all input before display
  • Restrict access to administrative interfaces by applying role‑based access controls and limiting connections to trusted IP ranges to reduce the possibility of exploitation
