CriticalCVSS 9.9Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk43th percentile - higher than 43% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper validation of symbolic links.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated attacker could exploit improper symbolic link validation to read confidential data, potentially compromising information confidentiality in the FTM environment.
Recommendation
Apply the available IBM fixes for FTM on RedHat OpenShift and restrict privileges of users able to interact with the file system.
