Impact
IBM Inc.'s InfoSphere Information Server is affected by a server‑side request forgery vulnerability that allows an authenticated user to craft HTTP requests to internal resources. The flaw can expose information about the internal network or be leveraged to trigger further attacks. The weakness is categorized as CWE‑918 and does not directly grant code execution on the host, but it provides a gateway to undisclosed services.
Affected Systems
Affected versions are 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6, inclusive. The product is available on AIX, Linux, and Windows platforms. The vulnerability impacts all installations of IBM InfoSphere Information Server in those versions and can affect any component that accepts user‑supplied URLs for network calls.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS v3.1 score of 5.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is below one percent, meaning the likelihood of exploitation is low at present. The vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires valid credentials and the ability to submit URL parameters; once achieved, the attacker can force the server to access arbitrary endpoints inside the corporate network.
