CVE-2023-38001Network attack vector

Unauthorized actions via forged trusted-session requests

Published Jul 30, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in IBM Aspera Orchestrator 4.0.1 and earlier allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions via crafted requests. IBM has not disclosed the affected request handler or the missing anti-CSRF validation that permits a trusted user session to accept attacker-controlled requests. Exploitation requires user interaction and an authenticated browser session trusted by Orchestrator; resulting changes are limited to actions available to that session.
