Session fixation needs a privileged victim to authenticate into the attacker's session, so AC:H and UI:R; no attacker credentials per description gives PR:N, and hijacked admin profile yields full C/I/A with scope change.

DescriptionNVD

IBM Administration Runtime Expert for i 1R1M0 IBM Application Runtime Expert (ARE) for i could allow a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges, caused by ARE GUI component processing. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute actions under another user's authenticated profile gaining elevated privileges on the IBM i system.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation via session fixation in IBM Administration Runtime Expert (ARE) for i, version 1R1M0, lets a remote attacker cause actions to run under another user's authenticated profile through flawed handling in the ARE GUI component, yielding elevated privileges on the IBM i host. The description characterizes the attacker as unauthenticated, though the CVSS 3.1 vector (PR:L) implies some low-privilege foothold - this signal conflict should be confirmed with IBM. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation targets the ARE GUI component of IBM Administration Runtime Expert for i 1R1M0 and hinges on session fixation: the attacker must be able to reach the ARE web GUI over the network and cause a target user to authenticate into a session identifier the attacker controls or can reuse. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are strongly weighted toward high priority but internally inconsistent. … 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 Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the IBM-provided fix (PTF) for Administration Runtime Expert for i as documented at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7284580; the reference is a support page rather than an explicit version string, so confirm the exact PTF level for your IBM i release directly from that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all IBM i systems running ARE version 1R1M0, obtain the vendor patch from IBM, and clarify with IBM whether this vulnerability requires existing low-privilege access or affects unauthenticated users. …
