CVE-2024-45676Network attack vector

Authenticated file upload via insufficient type distinction

Published Dec 3, 2024 · Updated Dec 3, 2024

File upload weakness in IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 and 11.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to upload insecure files. The upload path does not sufficiently distinguish permitted file types from insecure ones; IBM has not disclosed the affected endpoint or validation logic. A valid application account is required, and the published impact is limited to unauthorized file insertion with no reported confidentiality or availability effect.
