IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 FP4 and
12.0.0 through 12.0.4
could be vulnerable to malicious file upload by not validating the content of the file uploaded to the web interface. Attackers can make use of this weakness and upload malicious executable files into the system, and it can be sent to victim for performing further attacks.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 FP4 and
12.0.0 through 12.0.4
is vulnerable to an Expression Language (EL) Injection vulnerability. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information, consume memory resources, and/or cause the server to crash when using a specially crafted EL statement.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.3
is potentially vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). A remote attacker could execute malicious commands due to improper validation of column headings in Cognos Explorations.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.3 is vulnerable to HTML injection. A remote attacker could inject malicious HTML code, which when viewed, would be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.3
could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, using an open redirect attack. By persuading a victim to visit a specially crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the URL displayed to redirect a user to a malicious Web site that would appear to be trusted.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.3, 11.2.4, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, 12.0.2, 12.0.3, and IBM Cognos Analytics Reports for iOS 11.0.0.7 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information in the form of an API key. An attacker could use this information to launch further attacks against affected applications.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.3, 11.2.4, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, and 12.0.2 is potentially vulnerable to cross site scripting (XSS). A remote attacker could execute malicious commands due to improper validation of column headings in Cognos Assistant. IBM X-Force ID: 282780.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.3, 11.2.4, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, and 12.0.2 is vulnerable to improper certificate validation when using the IBM Planning Analytics Data Source Connection. This could allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering in the communication path between IBM Planning Analytics server and IBM Cognos Analytics server. IBM X-Force ID: 283364.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.2 is vulnerable to injection attacks in application logging by not sanitizing user provided data. This could lead to further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 282956.
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1.7, 11.2.4, and 12.0.0 could be vulnerable to information leakage due to unverified sources in messages sent between Windows objects of different origins. IBM X-Force ID: 254290.
