Information disclosure via sensitive query parameters
Published Jun 7, 2023 · Updated Jan 6, 2025
IBM CICS TX Advanced 10.1 and 11.1, Standard 11.1, and TXSeries 8.1, 8.2, and 9.1 expose sensitive query data to remote attackers. The Administration Console processes body parameters supplied in the URL query string, placing sensitive values in interceptable request metadata. Exploitation requires an adversary-in-the-middle position on the console traffic path, and the published impact is limited to confidentiality loss.
