Privileged data injection via unvalidated HTTP request
Published May 14, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Improper input validation in IBM Cloud Pak for Security 1.4.0.0 through 1.6.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject data via HTTP. IBM has not disclosed the affected endpoint, parameter, accepted payload, or the application operation that consumes the malicious request data. Exploitation requires a privileged product account and user interaction, and the published impact is limited to unauthorized modification of application data.
