Impact

IBM Concert Software from version 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 contains an improper access control flaw (CWE‑276) that permits unauthorized modification of application files. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker who gains write access to the application directories can alter the software’s behavior, embed malicious code, or persist unauthorized changes, thereby compromising the integrity of the system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects IBM Concert Software for all released versions from 1.0.0 up to 3.0.0. IBM recommends moving to version 3.0.1.1, which incorporates the necessary access‑control fix. The affected CPEs are ibm:concert:1.0.0 and ibm:concert:3.0.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.2 indicates a moderate severity. No EPSS score is available and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Lack of an explicit authentication requirement in the description suggests that any identity with permissions to modify the application files can exploit the flaw. Based on the description, it is inferred that exploitation requires write access to the application directories, which could be achieved through local privileges or potentially through remote interfaces that allow file modification.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading to IBM Concert Software 3.0.1.1 Download IBM Concert Software 3.0.0 from Container software library section of IBM Entitled Registry ( ICR https://myibm.ibm.com/products-services/containerlibrary ) and follow  installation instructions https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/concert  depending on the type of deployment.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Download and deploy IBM Concert Software 3.0.1.1 from the IBM Entitled Registry, following IBM’s installation guide.
  • Replace the existing 1.0.0–3.0.0 installation with the upgraded version while preserving configuration and data.
  • Restrict write permissions on all application directories so that only essential service accounts retain modify rights.
  • Audit user accounts and roles, removing or limiting write access to application files to enforce least privilege protocols.
