Summary
OpenText Directory Services (OTDS) from 10.5 through 26.2 on Windows and Linux is affected. The flaw is an improper restriction of rendered UI layers (CWE-1021), so pages of the application can be embedded in frames on other sites. A remote attacker with no privileges can trick a user into interacting with the framed page, which has a low integrity impact.
