CVE-2022-22373

Authenticated file creation via improper validation

Published Jul 1, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Improper validation in IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7 Pack for SAP Apps and BW Packs allows remote authenticated users to create directories and files containing non-sensitive debugging information through adjacent-network requests. The vulnerable server-side input handling accepts values that are not correctly constrained before filesystem operations, allowing attacker-supplied paths or names to produce artifacts and stack traces. Access requires low privileges from an adjacent network position, and the documented impact is limited confidentiality and integrity loss without service availability impact.
