Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Blackboard Academic Suite 7.x and earlier, and possibly some 8.0 versions, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the searchText parameter in a Course action to webapps/blackboard/execute/viewCatalog or (2) the data__announcements___pk1_pk2__subject parameter in an ADD action to bin/common/announcement.pl.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Blackboard Academic Suite deployments had multiple XSS flaws that could let an attacker inject script or HTML into user-facing pages. The sources do not provide a CVSS score, confirmed exploitation, or a named patch. Risk depends on whether legacy Blackboard 7.x or possibly early 8.0 remains reachable. Exposure is most likely in institutions still running legacy Blackboard Academic Suite 7.x or unverified 8.0 builds, especially if course catalog or announcement functions are reachable by users or the internet. Treat this as a legacy-platform exposure issue. It is not supported by active-exploitation evidence in the bundle, but exposed unsupported learning systems can create account, privacy, and institutional trust risk. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Blackboard Academic Suite 7.x or early 8.0 systems.; Check Blackboard or Anthology guidance for the fixed version or supported migration path.; Restrict public access to affected legacy Blackboard functions where possible..
