IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to clear active chat sessions due to improper authorization.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote attackers can clear active chat sessions in IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for Red Hat OpenShift because the component handling chat sessions performs improper authorization, rated CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L). Any network-reachable deployment of the FTM chat-session feature is exposed, and exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction - but the impact is deliberately narrow: no data can be read (C:N) and the only effect is disruption of in-progress chat sessions (I:L/A:L), making this a genuinely lower-tier issue despite the MEDIUM score. …
