CVE-2026-22587
📋 TL;DR
Ideagen DevonWay contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into the 'Reports' page. These scripts execute when other users view the affected reports, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing sensitive data. This affects all users of vulnerable Ideagen DevonWay versions.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could steal administrator credentials, hijack user sessions, perform actions on behalf of victims, or deploy additional malware within the application context.
Likely Case
Attackers steal session cookies or authentication tokens to impersonate users, potentially accessing sensitive data or performing unauthorized actions.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and output encoding, the attack would fail to execute malicious scripts, limiting impact to data integrity issues.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access and knowledge of XSS payloads; stored XSS is generally easier to exploit than reflected XSS.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2.62.4 or 2.62 LTS
Vendor Advisory: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-22587
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your current configuration and data. 2. Download the patched version from Ideagen's official portal. 3. Follow the vendor's upgrade documentation for your specific deployment. 4. Restart the application services. 5. Verify the fix by testing XSS payloads in the Reports functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement Content Security Policy (CSP)
allAdd a restrictive CSP header to prevent inline script execution and limit script sources to trusted domains only.
Add 'Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self';' to web server configuration
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to sanitize or reject HTML/JavaScript content in report fields.
Implement input sanitization functions in your application code
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block XSS payloads in report submissions.
- Disable or restrict access to the Reports functionality for non-essential users.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by creating a report with a simple XSS payload like <script>alert('test')</script> and checking if it executes when viewed.Check Version:
Check the application version in the admin interface or configuration files; consult vendor documentation for specific commands.Verify Fix Applied:
After patching, attempt the same XSS test; the payload should be properly encoded and not execute.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual report creation/modification patterns
- HTML/JavaScript content in report fields that matches XSS patterns
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing suspicious script tags or JavaScript in report parameters
