CVE-2022-32750: IBM DataPower Gateway 10.0.2.0 through 10.0.4.0, 10.0.1.0 through 10.0.1.8, 10.5.0.0, and 2018.4.1.0 throug...

IBM DataPower Gateway 10.0.2.0 through 10.0.4.0, 10.0.1.0 through 10.0.1.8, 10.5.0.0, and 2018.4.1.0 through 2018.4.1.21 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 228435.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This flaw is a cross-site scripting issue in IBM DataPower Gateway’s Web UI. A user with some access could get JavaScript to run in a trusted browser session, potentially exposing credentials or changing what the user sees in the interface.

Executive priority

Treat this as a moderate-priority administrative interface issue. It is not listed as known exploited in the supplied sources, but it can affect credential confidentiality inside trusted sessions and should be remediated during the next security maintenance window.

Technical view

CVE-2022-32750 affects IBM DataPower Gateway versions 10.0.2.0-10.0.4.0, 10.0.1.0-10.0.1.8, 10.5.0.0, and 2018.4.1.0-2018.4.1.21. CVSS 5.4 reflects network reachability, low privileges, required user interaction, changed scope, and low confidentiality and integrity impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where affected DataPower Gateway Web UI instances are reachable by administrators or other authenticated users. Business risk is higher if the Web UI is broadly accessible or used from privileged workstations.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The vulnerability requires low privileges and user interaction, so realistic abuse depends on access to the Web UI and a victim operating within a trusted session.

Researcher notes

The public bundle identifies XSS in the Web UI and IBM X-Force ID 228435. It does not include exploit details, a named vulnerable parameter, or fixed release text. One affected-version metadata entry appears inconsistent with the prose, so verify against IBM’s advisory.

Mitigation direction

  • Check IBM advisory node 6608600 for fixed versions and official guidance.
  • Upgrade or patch affected DataPower Gateway releases according to IBM guidance.
  • Restrict Web UI access to trusted administrative networks and users.
  • Review administrative session protections and credential handling around the Web UI.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory IBM DataPower Gateway versions against the affected ranges.
  • Confirm whether the Web UI is enabled and who can reach it.
  • Review IBM X-Force ID 228435 and the IBM advisory for remediation status.
  • Check access controls for administrative interfaces and privileged user groups.
