CVE-2025-62183: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Pegasystems Pega Infinity
Pega Platform versions 8.1.0 through 25.1.1 are affected by a Stored Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in a user interface component. Requires an administrative user and given extensive access rights, impact to Confidentiality and Integrity are low.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-62183 is a stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79, found in Pegasystems Pega Infinity platform versions 8.1.0 through 25.1.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation within a user interface component, allowing malicious scripts to be stored and executed in the context of the application. Exploitation requires an attacker to have administrative privileges with extensive access rights, which limits the attack surface but also means that a successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary scripts within the administrative interface. This could lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as unauthorized viewing or manipulation of data accessible to the admin user. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, user interaction needed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability. No patches are currently linked, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild, suggesting this is a newly disclosed vulnerability. Given the nature of Pega Infinity as a platform for business process management and customer engagement, the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks against organizations relying heavily on this software for critical operations.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62183 is primarily tied to the potential compromise of administrative interfaces within Pega Infinity deployments. While the requirement for administrative privileges reduces the likelihood of widespread exploitation, successful attacks could lead to unauthorized script execution in the admin context, potentially enabling data manipulation or exposure limited to the admin's scope. This could affect confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business process data, customer information, or configuration settings. Organizations in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, and government that utilize Pega Infinity for critical workflows may face operational risks and reputational damage if administrative accounts are compromised. However, the absence of known exploits and the medium severity rating suggest the immediate risk is moderate. Still, the vulnerability underscores the importance of securing privileged accounts and monitoring administrative activities to prevent lateral movement or privilege escalation that could facilitate exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Restrict administrative access to Pega Infinity strictly on a need-to-have basis, employing the principle of least privilege. 2. Implement strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative users to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 3. Monitor administrative user activities and audit logs for unusual behavior that could indicate attempted exploitation or account misuse. 4. Apply input validation and output encoding best practices within customizations or extensions of Pega Infinity to reduce XSS risks. 5. Stay informed about official patches or updates from Pegasystems and apply them promptly once available. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on administrative interfaces to identify and remediate potential injection points. 7. Educate administrative users about phishing and social engineering risks that could lead to credential theft and subsequent exploitation.
