SB2025121603 - Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM WatsonX BI Assistant for CP4D

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.

1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-29087)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the concat_ws() function. A remote attacker who can control the separator argument can pass an on overly large string to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57319)

CWE-ID: CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes (\'Prototype Pollution\')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform prototype pollution, which can result in information disclosure or data manipulation.

3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29499)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58754)

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits within data: URL decode. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

5) Use of cache containing sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57752)

CWE-ID: CWE-524 - Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper cache management in Image Optimization API. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive images cached by the application. 

6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55173)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Image Optimization feature. A remote attacker with control over external image sources can trigger file downloads with arbitrary content and filenames under specific configurations and perform phishing attacks.

7) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57822)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when next() is used without explicitly passing the request object. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.

8) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35195)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False. A local administrator can bypass authentication.

9) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22874)

CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in crypto/x509 when using ExtKeyUsageAny. When calling Verify with a VerifyOptions.KeyUsages that contains ExtKeyUsageAny it disables policy validation.

This only affected certificate chains which contain policy graphs, which are rather uncommon.

Remediation
