Description
IBM Guardium Data Protection version 12.1 contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows an administrative user to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the web user interface. This can alter the intended functionality of the application and potentially lead to the disclosure of credentials within a trusted session. The vulnerability requires high privileges and user interaction to exploit. The CVSS score is 4.8, indicating a medium severity level.
