Abstract

Security Bulletin: IBM InfoSphere Information Server Data Quality Console and Information Analyzer are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks (CVE-2013-4056)

Content

SUMMARY:

A cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in IBM InfoSphere Information Server Data Quality Console and Information Analyzer which can allow an attacker to trick a legitimate user into opening a URL that results in an action being taken as that user, potentially without the knowledge of that user. Any actions taken require the user being tricked to either be previously authenticated or to authenticate as part of the attack.
