CVE-2023-47142

Privilege escalation via unauthorized API access

Published Feb 2, 2024 · Updated Sep 20, 2024

Incorrect authorization in IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager 7.3.0.0 through 7.3.0.10 allows attackers to escalate privileges. IBM identifies unauthorized API access as the cause but has not published the affected endpoint, authorization check, or request semantics. An unauthenticated attacker must reach the API from the organization's local network; successful exploitation grants elevated privileges in the TADDM environment.
