IBM Cognos Analytics Multiple Vulnerabilities (6841801)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 169582

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web application is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is 11.1.x prior to 11.1.7 Fix Pack 6 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

 - A flaw in the JDBC driver of Apache Calcite Avatica can allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. (CVE-2022-36364)

 - A server-side request forgery (SSRF) in IBM Cognos Analytics caused by constructing URLs from user-controlled data. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to make arbitrary requests to the internal network or local file system. (CVE-2022-38708)

 - Deserialization of untrusted data in Google Gson triggered by an unauthenticated, remote attacker can lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-25647)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 FP6, 11.2.4, or later.
