DescriptionCVE.org
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.3, 11.2.4, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, 12.0.2, 12.0.3, and 12.0.4 could allow an authenticated user to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted request that would exhaust memory resources.
Executive ViewAI
IBM Cognos Analytics versions 11.2.0 through 12.0.4 contain a vulnerability that allows authenticated users to crash the system through memory exhaustion attacks, potentially disrupting business intelligence and reporting operations. Organizations running affected versions risk unexpected downtime that could impact decision-making and operational visibility.
Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malformed requests; restrict Cognos Analytics access to trusted internal networks only using network segmentation; monitor memory utilization on Cognos servers with alerting thresholds; disable unnecessary Cognos features not required for business operations; implement rate limiting on API endpoints; require multi-factor authentication for all Cognos access to reduce threat actor surface area.
