GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

GSD-2023-38738

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2023-12-13 01:20
Details
IBM OpenPages with Watson 8.3 and 9.0 could provide weaker than expected security in a OpenPages environment using Native authentication. If OpenPages is using Native authentication an attacker with access to the OpenPages database could through a series of specially crafted steps could exploit this weakness and gain unauthorized access to other OpenPages accounts. IBM X-Force ID: 262594.
