Overview of IBM Vulnerabilities 
On December 7, 2024, several vulnerabilities affecting IBM products were disclosed, highlighting security issues that could potentially compromise system integrity and user data. These vulnerabilities include stored cross-site scripting in IBM QRadar SIEM, denial of service in IBM Db2, and command execution risks in IBM AIX. Below are detailed descriptions of each vulnerability.
CVE-2024-47107: Stored Cross-Site Scripting in IBM QRadar SIEM
Description: IBM QRadar SIEM version 7.5 is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the Web UI. Such an attack can alter the application's intended functionality, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information, including user credentials within trusted sessions.Severity: The vulnerability has been rated as Medium with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.4.Impact: If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate user sessions and access sensitive data without authorization. It is crucial for users of IBM QRadar SIEM to apply necessary updates to mitigate this risk.CVE-2024-47115: Command Execution Vulnerability in IBM AIX
Description: The vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-47115 affects IBM AIX versions 7.2, 7.3, and VIOS versions 3.1 and 4.1. It allows local users to execute arbitrary commands on the system due to improper input neutralization.Severity: This vulnerability has been classified as High, with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8.Impact: An attacker with local access could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized control over the system, potentially leading to further exploitation or data breaches.CVE-2024-41762 and CVE-2024-37071: Denial of Service in IBM Db2
CVE-2024-41762
Description: This vulnerability affects IBM Db2 versions 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 (including Db2 Connect Server). Under certain conditions involving specially crafted queries, the server may crash, resulting in a denial of service.Severity: Rated as Medium, with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.3.CVE-2024-37071
Description: Similar to CVE-2024-41762, this vulnerability also impacts IBM Db2 versions 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 but is specifically related to improper memory allocation that could lead an authenticated user to cause a denial of service.Severity: This vulnerability is also rated as Medium, with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.3.Impact: Both vulnerabilities could lead to significant downtime for applications relying on Db2 databases, affecting business operations and availability.Conclusion
The recent disclosures regarding vulnerabilities in IBM products underscore the importance of maintaining robust security practices and timely updates. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize applying patches and updates provided by IBM to safeguard their systems against potential exploits stemming from these vulnerabilities.
