There is no evidence of exploitation in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Open XDMoD before version 11.0.3 contains an improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79) vulnerability. Authenticated attackers can inject malicious JavaScript into their user profile. By abusing the password reset functionality, they can send an email with a link that reflects and executes the unsanitized script in the victim's browser, potentially capturing credentials and enabling account takeover. The vulnerability was fixed in Open XDMoD 11.0.3.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser when the victim clicks a crafted password reset link. This can lead to credential theft and full compromise of the victim's Open XDMoD account. No evidence of exploitation in the wild has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch fixing this vulnerability is available in Open XDMoD version 11.0.3, released on 2026-05-12. Users should upgrade to this version to remediate the issue. As a workaround, the patch can be applied manually. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
