Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Description explicitly says a 'local user' triggers the overflow, so AV:L and PR:L; low complexity and arbitrary code execution give AC:L and C:H/I:H/A:H (~7.8), diverging from IBM's AV:N/PR:N.

IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking. A local user could overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
AnalysisAI
Improper bounds checking in IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 lets a local, authenticated user supply overlong input that overflows a buffer and achieves arbitrary code execution under the privileges of the affected process, matching the assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. IBM's own advisory scores the issue 9.8 with a network/unauthenticated vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), but the vendor description explicitly states a 'local user' is required, so realistic exposure is confined to systems where an attacker already has a local account - a foothold-to-full-compromise escalation rather than a pre-authentication remote RCE. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Per the IBM description, exploitation requires a LOCAL user account on a system running IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 who can pass crafted overlong input to a component lacking proper bounds checking. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This CVE carries a vendor-assigned CVSS of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H), which would normally denote a remote, unauthenticated, critical RCE - but the description explicitly states 'A local user could overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code,' which directly contradicts the network/unauthenticated metrics. … 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: IBM has published remediation for this issue at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7288830, and the input data confirms patch availability from the vendor but does not specify an exact fixed version - obtain the version supplied in that advisory from IBM support and upgrade every installation in the 1.0.0-3.0.0 range, since the CPE wildcard shows the flaw is not tied to a single build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 and confirm whether any local accounts could be leveraged by an attacker. …
