CVE-2025-40895 — Nozominetworks Cmc security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 4.8

A Stored HTML Injection vulnerability was discovered in the CMC's Sensor Map functionality due to improper validation on connected Guardians' properties. A malicious authenticated user with administrator privileges on a Guardian connected to a CMC can edit the Guardian's properties to inject HTML tags. If the Sensor Map functionality is enabled in the CMC, when a victim CMC user interacts with it, then the injected HTML may render in their browser, enabling phishing and possibly open redirect attacks. Full XSS exploitation and direct information disclosure are prevented by the existing input validation and Content Security Policy configuration.

Matched remediation archetype

Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
  • Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
  • Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.

Remediate safely

  • Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
  • Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
  • Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
