Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 25 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer to 11.0.5-00.

AI-suggested

1. 2. If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the affected web interfaces to trusted networks and users only, employing network segmentation and strong authentication controls. 3. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block common XSS attack patterns targeting the Analytics probe component. 4. Enforce strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the application, if customization or configuration options exist. 5. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activity indicative of attempted XSS exploitation or anomalous user behavior. 6. Educate users about the risks of interacting with suspicious links or content within the management interface. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure tools. 8. Consider deploying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in the web interface environment.

Description

Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor (Analytics probe component), Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer.This issue affects Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor:; Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer: from 10.0.0-00 before 11.0.5-00.

Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, leading to potential theft of sensitive information such as authentication tokens, user credentials, or configuration data. This compromises confidentiality and can facilitate further attacks like session hijacking or privilege escalation. Integrity may be impacted if malicious scripts alter displayed data or configuration settings. Availability could be disrupted if injected scripts cause application crashes or denial of service. Organizations using Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor and Ops Center Analyzer in critical infrastructure monitoring and management environments may face operational disruptions and data breaches. Given the network-exploitable nature and low complexity, the vulnerability could be leveraged by insiders or external attackers with limited access, increasing the attack surface. The cross-site scripting flaw could also be used as a pivot point for lateral movement within enterprise networks, especially in environments where these tools have elevated privileges or access to sensitive systems.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
Architecture and Design · Implementation · Attack Surface Reduction
