DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Business Automation Workflow containers and traditional 26.0.0, 25.0.0 through 25.0.0 Interim Fix 005, 24.0.1 through 24.0.1 Interim Fix 007, and 24.0.0 through 24.0.0 Interim Fix 009 IBM Business Automation Workflow fails to properly verify that the hostname matches the server certificate potentially allowing connections to an attacker-controlled server.

AnalysisAI

Improper TLS hostname verification in IBM Business Automation Workflow exposes high-privilege sessions to man-in-the-middle interception by failing to validate that server certificates match the target hostname. Affected deployments span both containerized (Kubernetes/OpenShift) and traditional on-premises models across multiple release trains from 24.0.0 through 26.0.0. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to hold high-privilege (administrator-level) credentials on IBM Business Automation Workflow, as confirmed by PR:H in the CVSS:3.1 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.8 (Low) accurately reflects the constrained threat model: the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N requires high-privilege credentials (PR:H), meaning the attacker must already have compromised administrator-level access before this flaw can be leveraged. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-supplied patch documented in the IBM Security Bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7282596. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
