CVE-2025-15051
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIBM QRadar SIEM 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 Update Package 14 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality.
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 QRadar SIEM versions 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 Update Package 14 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Web UI. An authenticated user can embed arbitrary JavaScript code into the web interface, which executes in the browsers of other users viewing the affected content, allowing alteration of intended functionality.

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 the installed QRadar versionRun the command to display the QRadar version information, typically via the console or admin interface showing the full version string including Update Package numberAffected if The version displays as 7.5.0 Update Package 14 or earlier (7.5.0 through 7.5.0 UP14)
-
Confirm Web UI is enabledVerify the Web UI service is running and accessible by logging into the QRadar console via a web browserAffected if The Web UI is accessible and functional, indicating the vulnerable interface is exposed
-
Verify authenticated user access to Web UICheck user accounts that have access to log into the QRadar Web UI consoleAffected if Any authenticated user accounts exist with Web UI access, as the vulnerability requires an authenticated user to inject the malicious script
-
Review recent Web UI activity logsExamine QRadar audit or access logs for any unusual JavaScript-related entries or unexpected script tags in Web UI fieldsAffected if Suspicious script injections are found in log entries, indicating active exploitation or testing of the XSS vulnerability
You are affected if your QRadar installation runs version 7.5.0 through Update Package 14 and has the Web UI accessible to authenticated 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 QRadar SIEM 7.5.0 Update Package 15 or later which contains the security fix. Until patched, limit administrative access and sanitize user inputs in the Web UI.
