V13 - Configuration CORS policy restriction
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that IBM Concert (versions 1.0 through 3.0.0) be configured with a permissive CORS policy that does not restrict Access-Control-Allow-Origin to trusted domains - per the description the allowed domain name 'is not being limited to only trusted domains.' A realistic attack further depends on a victim who holds an active authenticated Concert session and who is induced to load attacker-controlled web content, and on the browser sending credentials cross-origin; these requirements are why the vendor rates attack complexity High. The fix is available from IBM, so patched deployments are not exposed. |
| Impact | This is a low-severity issue (CVSS 3.7) and should be triaged as a low priority. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates network-reachable, unauthenticated (PR:N) exploitation but with high attack complexity (AC:H) and only limited confidentiality impact (C:L), no integrity or availability impact. The AC:H rating is consistent with CORS abuse, which typically requires an authenticated victim to be lured to an attacker-controlled page so their browser issues cross-origin requests. No EPSS score was provided in the input, and there is no CISA KEV listing and no public proof-of-concept, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Note a tension between the metadata and the narrative: the CVSS vector records only C:L with I:N, yet the description states an attacker 'could carry out privileged actions,' which implies an integrity dimension not reflected in the vendor base score - verify the true impact with IBM. Overall this is a genuine-but-minor configuration weakness, not a widespread-exploitation priority. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a malicious web page and lures a user who is authenticated to IBM Concert into visiting it; the victim's browser then issues cross-origin requests that Concert honors because it reflects or over-permissively allows the request origin. The attacker's page can read responses or trigger privileged actions in the context of the victim's session. No public proof-of-concept is known, and the high complexity reflects the need for an authenticated victim and attacker-controlled web content. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) misconfiguration in IBM Concert 1.0 through 3.0.0 can allow attacker-controlled web content to carry out privileged actions in the context of a victim's authenticated session when the allowed domain is not limited to trusted domains. The vendor rates attack complexity High and impact limited, and the CVSS vector indicates no prior privileges are required (PR:N) even though practical exploitation depends on a victim with an active Concert session loading malicious web content. IBM has released a fix; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the IBM-supplied fix referenced in the vendor advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7292374; patch availability is confirmed by IBM, but the exact fixed version number is not specified in the provided data, so confirm the target release in the advisory before upgrading IBM Concert 1.0 through 3.0.0. Until patched, restrict CORS responses to an explicit allowlist of trusted origins, avoid wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin values, do not reflect arbitrary Origin headers, and do not combine Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true with untrusted origins; tightening CORS can break legitimate cross-origin integrations, so test approved domains first. As an additional compensating control, limit privileged Concert endpoints to same-origin use or trusted network paths, accepting that this may impair legitimate remote integrations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is a CORS policy weakness in IBM Concert, tracked as CWE-942 (Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains). CORS is the browser mechanism that relaxes the same-origin policy by returning headers such as Access-Control-Allow-Origin; if Concert accepts arbitrary or untrusted origins, a malicious site can cause the victim's browser to send cross-origin requests to Concert and potentially read responses or trigger privileged actions. The provided CPE, cpe:2.3:a:ibm:concert:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, identifies IBM Concert as the affected product without narrowing to a specific build. Per the independent assessment, exploitation requires a permissive CORS configuration, a victim with an active authenticated Concert session, and browser-side sending of credentials across origins, which is consistent with the vendor's High attack-complexity rating.

DescriptionCVE.org
IBM Concert 1.0 through 3.0.0 uses cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) which could allow an attacker to carry out privileged actions as the domain name is not being limited to only trusted domains.
