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-2023-43040 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Spectrum Fusion HCI. 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-2023-43040/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43040/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43040","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43040/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43040","record":{"aliases":["AZL-40646","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-43040","GHSA-fwhj-j6cr-5qw4","OESA-2023-1761","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-43040","USN-6613-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Fusion HCI","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can perform unauthorized actions in Ceph RGW due to improper bucket access controls in IBM Spectrum Fusion HCI.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"storage_fusion_hci","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1220","name":"Insufficient Granularity of Access Control"}],"description":"IBM Spectrum Fusion HCI 2.5.2 through 2.7.2 could allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions in RGW for Ceph due to improper bucket access.
