Analysis Summary

CVE-2023-40696 CVSS:5.9

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information.

CVE-2023-40695 CVSS:6.3

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 does not invalidate session after logout which could allow an authenticated user to impersonate another user on the system.

CVE-2023-38724 CVSS:6.3

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially crafted SQL statements, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.

CVE-2023-28952 CVSS:5.3

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 is vulnerable to injection attacks in application logging by not sanitizing user provided data.

CVE-2023-23474 CVSS:3.7

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information when a stack trace is returned in the browser.

CVE-2022-22364 CVSS:5.3

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 is vulnerable to external service interaction attack, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to induce the application to perform server-side DNS lookups or HTTP requests to arbitrary domain names. By submitting suitable payloads, an attacker can cause the application server to attack other systems that it can interact with.

CVE-2021-20556 CVSS:5.3

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 could allow a remote user to enumerate usernames due to differentiating error messages on existing usernames.

CVE-2021-20451 CVSS:6

CVE-2021-20450 CVSS:4.3

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic.

CVE-2020-4874 CVSS:5.9

IBM Cognos Controller 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 11.0.0 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information.
