An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-27540 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Watson CP4D Data Stores. 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-2023-27540/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27540/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-27540","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27540/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-27540","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xr8j-gg22-3pqg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Watson CP4D","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in IBM Watson CP4D Data Stores by exploiting improper resource allocation limits.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_for_data","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"watson_cp4d_data_stores","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"IBM Watson CP4D Data Stores 4.6.0 does not properly allocate resources without limits or throttling which could allow a remote attacker with information specific to the system to cause a denial of service.
