A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was reported in Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) versions prior to 2.5.0 that could allow an administrative user to cause JavaScript code to be stored in LXCA which may then be executed in the user's web browser.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-6180 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high 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.
