IBM Cognos Analytics Multiple Vulnerabilities (6841801)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 169582

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.
