Authenticated input-restriction bypass

Published Dec 3, 2024 · Updated Dec 3, 2024

Authentication bypass in IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 and 11.0.1 allows local users to circumvent restrictions imposed on input fields. IBM has not published the affected fields, alternate path, or validation operation that fails to enforce those restrictions. Exploitation requires authenticated access, and the documented impact is limited to altering otherwise restricted input values.
