IBM X-Force ID: 289889.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIBM Planning Analytics Local versions 2.0 and 2.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Web UI. Attackers can embed malicious JavaScript code into web interface fields that executes in the browsers of other users viewing that content, potentially exposing session credentials or performing actions on behalf of authenticated users.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify IBM Planning Analytics Local versionCheck the installed version of IBM Planning Analytics Local. This can typically be found in the installation directory, in version information files, or via the TM1 Administration Server web interface. Look for version metadata or product information files in the installation path.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.0.0 or exactly 2.1.0
-
Confirm Web UI is accessibleVerify that the IBM Planning Analytics Web UI is accessible. This is typically accessed via a web browser connecting to the Planning Analytics Local web server (default port 9510 or as configured during installation).Affected if The Web UI is accessible and users can log in to view and interact with web interface fields
-
Identify user-supplied input fields in Web UIIn the Planning Analytics Local Web UI, identify fields where users can input data that gets stored and displayed to other users. These include TM1 cube views, dimensions, and any user-editable content displayed in the browser.Affected if User-supplied data entered into Web UI fields is stored and rendered to other users without proper output encoding
You are affected if IBM Planning Analytics Local version 2.0.0 or 2.1.0 is installed and the Web UI is accessible, allowing stored user content to be rendered to other users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply IBM patches for Planning Analytics Local when available. Until then, implement output encoding for all user-supplied data rendered in the Web UI and consider implementing Content Security Policy headers to restrict script execution.
