An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-79799 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79799/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79799/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79799","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79799/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79799","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m27g-wj58-2ppf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ClearPass Policy Manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject scripts into the ClearPass Policy Manager interface, potentially compromising administrative sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an administrative user of the interface.
