Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—

InfoSphere Metadata Workbench (MWB) 8.1 through 8.7 in IBM InfoSphere Information Server 8.1, 8.5 before FP3, and 8.7 does not properly restrict use of the troubleshooting feature, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions or cause a denial of service (workbench outage) via unspecified vectors.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
