Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected UI components to trusted operators only and monitor for suspicious activity related to network acknowledgement data. Avoid using affected versions if possible.

Description

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) in the FTM UI NetworkAcknowledgement React component (NetworkAcknowledgement.jsx:42). A malicious actor can inject script into stored network acknowledgement data that executes in authenticated operator browsers, enabling session hijacking and unauthorized operator-level payment actions.
