EMC RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle versions 7.0.1, 7.0.2 (all patch levels); RSA Via Lifecycle and Governance version 7.0 (all patch levels); and RSA Identity Management and Governance (IMG) version 6.9.1 (all patch levels) have Stored Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by malicious users to compromise an affected system.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2017-5004 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
