CVE-2025-40894 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting nozominetworks cmc. It was published on March 4, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
A Stored HTML Injection vulnerability was discovered in the Alerted Nodes Dashboard functionality due to improper validation on an input parameter.
A malicious authenticated user with the required privileges could edit a node label to inject HTML tags. If the system is configured to use the Alerted Nodes Dashboard, and alerts are reported for the affected node, then the injected HTML may render in the browser of a victim user interacting with it, 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.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from nozominetworks. Update cmc to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
