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.
