Authenticated configuration disclosure via improper API authorization
Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Improper authorization in IBM OpenPages 9.0 allows remote authenticated users to read privileged configuration data through affected APIs. IBM identifies the locus only as affected APIs, which perform improper authorization checks before returning privileged configuration data. A valid low-privilege account is required, and the published impact includes disclosure and limited modification without service interruption.
