Published · Updated · NVD status: Undergoing Analysis
What it is
A link on a trusted site can send visitors on to any address an attacker chooses.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it from the same local network segment, with an ordinary user account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act inside a signed-in user's browser session. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 10% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place IBM Db2 Genius Hub runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- Segment the networks that can reach it.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
IBM Db2 Genius Hub 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to conduct a phishing attack due to an open redirect vulnerability.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Web front ends and single-page apps. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
- Admin consoles served to a browser. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
Trust boundaries in play
- Local network segment. The attacker must share a network segment with the target.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
- Between a user's browser and the web application. An attacker who crosses it can act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does IBM Db2 Genius Hub run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which network segments can reach them?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
