Summary
Pega Platform versions 7.1.0 to Infinity 24.2.2 are affected by a Stored XSS issue in a user interface component. Exploitation requires a high privileged user with a developer role.
Risk Assessment
A privileged user with a developer role can inject persistent malicious script that executes in other platform users' browsers. This can lead to session or data theft and further privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Update Pega Platform to a version where the vulnerability is fixed and limit the number of users with the developer role. Implement input validation in user interface components.
