What it is

The record does not classify the weakness yet; the description below says what the reporter found.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.

What an attacker gains

A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 26% of scored CVEs.

What to do

  1. No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place IBM MQ runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
  2. While there is no fix, review who holds accounts that can reach it.

Description from NVD

IBM MQ 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.0.44 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.0.42 LTS, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.0.26 LTS, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.5.1 CD, and 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.5 LTS and CD could allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by injecting malicious environment variables through transfer request metadata.

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

  • IBM MQ. Start from where it runs and what it is connected to.

Trust boundaries in play

  • Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.

Questions to answer about your own systems

  • Where does IBM MQ run in your systems, and at which version?
  • Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
  • What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
