CVE-2022-22371

User impersonation via post-change session persistence

Published Jan 4, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Session expiration failure in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator 6.0.0.0 through 6.1.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to impersonate users. The Dashboard keeps an existing authenticated session valid after the associated account password changes, so the session remains accepted despite credential rotation. IBM has not disclosed how an authenticated user obtains or binds another user's surviving session; the bounded consequence is user impersonation.
