Unauthenticated code execution via servlet race condition
Published Jan 10, 2025 · Updated Jan 10, 2025
Race condition in an IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next servlet in 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute code. The servlet mishandles a specially crafted request because a time-of-check/time-of-use race bypasses a security restriction; IBM does not identify the request field or conflicting operations. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation permits remote code execution on the affected server.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
