Application-configuration access via incorrect permissions
Published Nov 3, 2022 · Updated May 2, 2025
IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.1 through 21.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to access application configurations via incorrect permission assignment. The affected authorization configuration grants a low-privilege account permissions that should restrict configuration access. Exploitation requires an authenticated account and physical attack vector in IBM's assessment; impact is unauthorized configuration access without reported confidentiality or availability loss.
