Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-38005 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Cloud Pak System. 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-2023-38005/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38005/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38005","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38005/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38005","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qvc7-4wrw-mpgp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cloud Pak System","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can perform unauthorized tasks and access information due to improper access controls in IBM Cloud Pak System.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_system","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"IBM Cloud Pak System 2.3.3.6, 2.3.3.7, 2.3.4.0, 2.3.4.1, and 2.3.5.0 could allow an authenticated user to perform unauthorized tasks due to improper access controls.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in Cloud Pak System","id":"CVE-2023-38005","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak System HTML injection","id":"CVE-2023-38007"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Db2 command execution","id":"CVE-2023-38003"},"products":["Cloud Pak System"],"published":"2026-02-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"File upload in Cloud Pak System","id":"CVE-2019-4130","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Due to use of IBM Storage Protect, IBM Cloud Pak System is affected by vulnerability []","id":"CVE-2026-13463","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak System information disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-38273","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-02"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Code injection in Cloud Pak System","id":"CVE-2019-4521","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-10"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"File upload in Cloud Pak System","id":"CVE-2020-4928","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-04"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak System information disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-37405","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-27"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak System information disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-38272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-18","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can perform unauthorized tasks and access information due to improper access controls in IBM Cloud Pak System.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38005/"}
