CVE-2026-22720 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in VMware Aria Operations. The flaw affects the custom benchmark creation functionality and allows an attacker with privileges to create custom benchmarks to inject malicious script content that is stored by the application and later rendered in the management interface. When the injected content is viewed in an administrative context, the script can execute in the victim’s browser session and perform actions within VMware Aria Operations with that user’s effective privileges.
