Security readout for executives and security teams
CA API Developer Portal 3.5 through 3.5 CR6 can store malicious script content during profile picture processing. If triggered, that script could run in another portal user’s browser. The business risk depends on who can upload profile pictures and what privileges affected portal users have. Exposure is most likely where CA API Developer Portal 3.5, including CR6 or earlier, is deployed and permits user profile picture updates. Internet-facing or partner-facing portals have higher practical risk than tightly restricted internal deployments. Treat this as a targeted remediation item for legacy CA API Developer Portal deployments. Prioritize internet-facing or partner-facing portals, especially where privileged users regularly access profiles. Urgency is moderate because the issue is stored XSS, but public evidence provided does not show active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Check CA Technologies advisory CA20180328-01 for supported fixes or workarounds.; Identify and retire or remediate Portal 3.5 through 3.5 CR6 instances.; Restrict profile picture update capability to trusted users until remediated..
