Impact

IBM Concert 1.0 through 3.0.0 uses cross‑origin resource sharing that is not restricted to trusted domains, allowing an attacker to issue requests from arbitrary origins. Because the server does not verify the calling domain, privileged actions that are normally protected can be performed, exposing sensitive data or functionalities. This is a form of authorization bypass rooted in improper CORS configuration (CWE-942).

Affected Systems

Vulnerable versions are IBM Concert Software 1.0 to 3.0.0. The issue affects all deployments of these releases, regardless of installation type, as the misconfiguration exists in the core CORS handling for the web interface and APIs.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.7 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation is indeterminate, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker can exploit the flaw by hosting a malicious web page and issuing cross‑origin requests to the Concert server; if the server tolerates such requests, the attacker can invoke privileged endpoints. The absence of a publicly known exploit means risk is primarily theoretical, but the impact could be significant if an attacker gains access to sensitive functions.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing these vulnerabilities now by upgrading to IBM Concert Software 3.0.1.1 Download IBM Concert Software 3.0.1.1 from Container software library section of IBM Entitled Registry (ICR) and follow installation instructions depending on the type of deployment.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to IBM Concert Software 3.0.1.1, which addresses the CORS misconfiguration.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict the server's CORS policy to a whitelist of trusted domains and remove the permissive wildcard.
  • Disable or harden any exposed APIs that rely on domain‑based authorization, ensuring that only authenticated users can perform privileged actions.
  • Verify that the server no longer responds with permissive CORS headers for non‑HTTPS requests.
