CVE-2015-5039
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.4)—
The Remote Client and change management integrations in IBM Rational ClearCase 7.1.x, 8.0.0.x before 8.0.0.18, and 8.0.1.x before 8.0.1.11 do not properly validate hostnames in X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information or modify network traffic via a crafted certificate. IBM X-Force ID: 106715.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Base score: 7.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.15%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 66
- Score date: 10/6/2026
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).
