CVE-2019-4446Network attack vector

Unauthorized actions via modified request parameters

Published Apr 17, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Improper authorization in IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6 allows remote authenticated users to perform unauthorized actions via request parameters. The System UI accepts attacker-modified request parameters for user enumeration without enforcing the intended authorization boundary. A low-privileged network account is required; exploitation permits unauthorized actions and limited information access without interrupting service.
