Authenticated data manipulation via improper input validation

Published Apr 14, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Improper input validation in IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3.0 through 7.3.3 Patch 2 allows remote authenticated users to perform unauthorized actions. IBM has not published the affected component, accepted input, or validation operation that permits those actions. Network access and a low-privileged account are required, and the documented consequence is unauthorized data modification without confidentiality or availability impact.
