CVE-2012-2164
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
The Web client in IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.x before 7.1.2.7 and 8.x before 8.0.0.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions, and use the Site Administration menu to modify system settings, via a parameter-tampering attack.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 5.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.11%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 65
- Score date: 10/5/2026
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).
