An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-42438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management Monitoring. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42438/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cj39-j7p3-g95w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cloud Pak Monitoring","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Non-admin users can access admin functions in IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management Monitoring by specifying direct URL paths.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_for_multicloud_management_monitoring","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-425","name":"Direct Request"}],"description":"IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management Monitoring 2.0 and 2.3 allows users without admin roles access to admin functions by specifying direct URL paths.
