Overview

IBM Db2 Genius Hub versions 1.1.2 through 1.1.5 contain an open redirect flaw that can be exploited by a remote authenticated user to facilitate phishing attacks. The vulnerability allows attackers to redirect users to malicious sites after authentication, potentially compromising credentials or delivering malware. It is considered low severity but still relevant for environments that rely on this product.

Description

IBM Db2 Genius Hub 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to conduct a phishing attack due to an open redirect vulnerability.

Impact

The flaw undermines the integrity of user navigation and can lead to credential theft or malware delivery, compromising confidentiality and availability of user data. Defenders must be aware that authenticated users could be tricked into visiting malicious URLs, potentially exposing sensitive information. The attack vector is limited to authenticated sessions, so only users with valid credentials are at risk.

Remediation

1. Apply the latest IBM Db2 Genius Hub patch or upgrade to a version that removes the open redirect flaw. 2. Configure the application to enforce a strict whitelist of allowed redirect URLs. 3. Monitor authentication and redirect logs for anomalous patterns. 4. Educate users about phishing risks and verify URLs before clicking.

Risk context

The CVSS v3 score of 3.4 indicates low severity, and no EPSS data is available. While the risk is modest, the potential for phishing makes it prudent to patch promptly and monitor for suspicious redirects.
