CVE-2022-33959Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via tampered form-field authorization

Published Apr 7, 2023 · Updated Feb 10, 2025

Authorization bypass in IBM Sterling Order Management 10.0 allows remote authenticated users to act on behalf of other users. The web application trusts tampered form-field data and omits or incorrectly performs server-side authorization checks for restricted functions. Low-privileged access is sufficient to manipulate stored data or alter application workflows, while availability remains unaffected.
