Malicious file distribution via unchecked uploads
Published Jul 10, 2025 · Updated Aug 18, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in IBM Analytics Content Hub 2.0 through 2.3 allows remote authenticated users to store malicious executables. Explore Content accepts uploaded files without validating their type, allowing dangerous executable formats to enter content shared with other users. A highly privileged account must upload the file, and a victim must receive and interact with it before the reported follow-on attacks occur.
