Unauthorized actions via illegal-character validation bypass
Published Apr 8, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Authorization bypass in IBM Security Information Queue 1.0.0 through 1.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to perform unauthorized actions. The validation logic accepts characters that its restrictions classify as illegal, but IBM has not disclosed the affected field, function, or request. Exploitation requires a valid account and user interaction, and the published impact is limited to unauthorized modification without reported disclosure or service interruption.
