Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires three concrete conditions drawn from the description: (1) the victim must have an active authenticated session with Jazz for Service Management whose session cookie / authorization token lacks the Secure attribute; (2) the victim must be induced to follow an http:// (cleartext) link to the application, either sent directly or planted on a site they visit; and (3) the attacker must be able to observe the resulting cleartext traffic (man-in-the-middle or passive network snooping on the victim's path). Limiting factors: exploitation is defeated if HTTPS is strictly enforced / HSTS is enabled so the browser never issues a cleartext request, if the attacker has no network-interception vantage point, and if the user does not follow the malicious http:// link. This is a transport-security/hardening gap, not a remote-unauthenticated server-side flaw - the 'network' vector is real but gated by user interaction and attacker network positioning.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being network-exploitable. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 5.3) formally scores it as medium, but the real-world signals converge on low risk: EPSS is 0.16% (4th percentile), it is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code was identified. The CVSS 'low' confidentiality-only impact (I:N/A:N) correctly reflects that this is an information-disclosure weakness (CWE-614, missing Secure flag on cookies) rather than code execution or data tampering. Importantly, the CVSS vector understates the practical difficulty: it marks AC:L/UI:N, yet the description itself describes an attack requiring the attacker to (a) lure the user to an http:// link AND (b) be positioned to snoop network traffic - i.e., both social engineering and a man-in-the-middle/network-interception capability. This conflict (CVSS AC:L/UI:N versus a description implying user interaction and privileged network positioning) should be noted: the attack is harder than AC:L/UI:N suggests. Net assessment: a legitimate hardening defect worth patching in routine cycles, not an emergency; exploitation is plausible only against targeted users on attacker-controllable network paths.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker able to intercept network traffic on a path the victim uses (e.g., shared/public Wi-Fi or a compromised network segment) sends or plants an http:// link to the Jazz for Service Management instance. When the authenticated user's browser follows it, the session cookie - lacking the Secure attribute - is transmitted over cleartext HTTP, and the attacker captures it by passively snooping the traffic to hijack the session. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026

Session cookie and token disclosure in IBM Jazz for Service Management 1.1.3.0 through 1.1.3.25 occurs because the application fails to set the Secure attribute, allowing network attackers to capture credentials when a victim follows an http:// link and the traffic is intercepted. Exploitation requires user interaction and an attacker with a man-in-the-middle or passive network position; this is a low-priority hardening gap (CVSS 5.3, EPSS 0.16%), with no public exploit or active exploitation identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7249820 provides the primary fix; upgrade from affected 1.1.3.0-1.1.3.25 to the patched version specified by IBM (typically the next 1.1.3.x release). Until patching, enforce HTTPS exclusively and enable HSTS so browsers never issue cleartext requests, which defeats the attack vector. Additionally, configure the application to set the Secure attribute on all cookies if possible (may require custom code or configuration). As a compensating control, restrict access to trusted networks and use VPNs to prevent traffic snooping; note that these do not eliminate the root cause. Educate users not to follow http:// links to the application. Patch status: patch available per vendor advisory.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-614 (Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute) is the root cause: the Java-based web application does not mark session cookies and authorization tokens with the Secure flag. Without this flag, browsers will include the cookie in cleartext HTTP requests if a user navigates to an http:// URL. An attacker who can intercept network traffic (e.g., on the same local network, Wi-Fi, or via MITM) can then read the cookie value and hijack the session. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:ibm:jazz_for_service_management:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions are potentially affected, but the advisory specifies 1.1.3.0 through 1.1.3.25. This is a transport-security configuration issue, not a server-side injection or memory corruption flaw.

DescriptionNVD

IBM Jazz for Service Management 1.1.3.0 through 1.1.3.25 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic.
