Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION:
Customers who have IBM Algo Credit Limits are potentially impacted by these vulnerabilities.
| CVE ID | DESCRIPTION |
| CVE-2014-0864 CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90938 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI The ACLM Web GUI does not verify that requests are made only from within the web application. An attacker could trick users into making an unintentional request to the web application which will be treated as an authorized request. This may allow an attacker to perform tasks on behalf of the victim user, like modifying limits. The attack requires network access, no authentication and some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack will not compromise the confidentiality of information or the availability of the system but may compromise the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0865 CVSS: CVSS Base Score: 3.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90939 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N) | Affected Components: ACLM Win GUI The ACLM Win GUI client performs input validation only client-side. This could allow an attacker to alter arbitrary data, e.g. create a limit. This vulnerability could also be used to circumvent dual control mechanisms by manipulating data after creation. The attack requires network access, some degree of authentication and degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack will not compromise the confidentiality of information or the availability of the system but may compromise the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0866 CVSS: CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90940 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Win GUI, PDS Blotter Web GUI The ACLM Win GUI client submits user credentials in plain-text. An attacker with access to the network communication could perform man-in-the-middle attacks and obtain user credentials. This vulnerability also applies to the PDS Blotter Web GUI client, where authentication is performed unencrypted. The attack requires network access, no authentication and some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack may partially compromise the confidentiality of information. It will not compromise the availability of the system or the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0867 CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90941 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI A vulnerable page in ACLM Web GUI could allow an attacker to set and overwrite arbitrary cookies for a user that clicks on a manipulated link. The attack requires network access, no authentication and some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack will not compromise the confidentiality of information or the availability of the system but may compromise the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0868 CVSS Base Score: 3.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90942 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI The ACLM Web GUI application performs input validation only client-side. This could allow an attacker to alter arbitrary data. This vulnerability could also be used to circumvent dual control mechanisms by manipulating data after creation. The attack requires network access, some degree of authentication and degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack will not compromise the confidentiality of information or the availability of the system but may compromise the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0869 CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90943 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI, PDS Blotter Web GUI, ACLM Win GUI Insufficient encryption for storing and transferring users’ passwords could allow an attacker to retrieve the plain-text passwords without further knowledge of cryptographic keys. The attack requires network access, no authentication and some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack may partially compromise the confidentiality of information but will not compromise the availability of the system or the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0870 CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90944 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI, PDS Blotter Web GUI The ACLM Web GUI and the PDS Blotter Web GUI do not correctly neutralize user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is served as a web page. This may be used in a Cross-site scripting attack. Attackers could compromise user sessions and impersonate other users while performing arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim user. The attack requires network access, no authentication and some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack will not compromise the confidentiality of information or the availability of the system but may compromise the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0871 CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90945 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI Tomcat configuration discloses technical details within error messages to the user. This could allow an attacker to collect valuable data about the environment of the solution. The attack requires network access, no authentication and some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack may partially compromise the confidentiality of information but will not compromise the availability of the system or the integrity of data. |
| CVE-2014-0894 CVSS Base Score: 3.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/91313 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N) | Affected Component(s): ACLM Web GUI The password and the username of the backend database are disclosed in clear-text to the user of the ACLM Web GUI client. This could allow attackers to directly connect to the backend database and manipulate arbitrary data stored in the database. The attack requires network access, some degree of authentication and specialized knowledge and techniques. An attack may partially compromise the confidentiality of information but will not compromise the availability of the system or the integrity of data. |
