description

IBM Optim 1.0.0 through 1.2.0 are affected by a path-traversal vulnerability. An attacker with remote authenticated access may use the flaw to access sensitive information; authentication is required.

mitigation

Restrict Optim access to trusted users and networks, and apply least-privilege permissions to the service and accessible files. No fixed version is recorded in the supplied evidence; obtain and apply the vendor's corrected update when available.
