IBM Cognos Analytics: cross-site scripting

Medium5.4CVE-2026-7884 · Published Sep 14, 2026 · updated Sep 16, 2026

IBM Cognos Analytics 12.1.0 through 12.1.3 FP1, and 12.0.4 through 12.0.4 FP2 allows a non-privileged user to edit their given name and surname to include malicious JavaScript code. When an administrator later accesses the user account management panel and views that user's permissions, the malicious JavaScript code is executed. This could result in the cookies from the administrator being compromised.
