Authenticated code execution via unchecked return length
Published Jan 25, 2025 · Updated Sep 29, 2025
Buffer overflow in IBM Analytics Content Hub 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code or crash the server. A return-length check fails to prevent an oversized result from overflowing a buffer; IBM has not disclosed the affected component or function. Valid application credentials and network access are required, and successful exploitation grants code execution or terminates the server process.
