CVE-2024-31902
Ibm
CVE-2024-31902: Cross-Site Request Forgery in IBM InfoSphere. This vulnerability allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions by exploiting the trust a website has in an authenticated user. The IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7 is susceptible to this CSRF attack.
Though the CVSS score is high at 8.8, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower immediate risk compared to vulnerabilities with scores above 80. This indicates that while technically severe, current threat intelligence doesn't suggest widespread exploitation in the wild. An attacker could potentially execute malicious actions through a legitimate user's session. Users should still apply available patches from IBM to mitigate the risk. Although not currently critical according to SVRS, proactive patching is a best practice to prevent potential future exploitation.
