Unauthorized actions via collective controller CSRF
Published Jul 29, 2026 · Updated Jul 29, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.8 allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions. IBM has not published the affected endpoint or the precise request-validation failure within the collective controller. Exploitation requires collectiveController-1.0 to be enabled and a trusted user to transmit attacker-chosen actions to the controller.
