Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-1838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. 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-2025-1838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-1838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-1838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-1838/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-1838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w4rj-x734-wm94"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cloud Pak","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can bypass client-side validation in the authoring interface, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_for_business_automation","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-602","name":"Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security"}],"description":"IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation\n\n 24.0.0 and 24.0.1 through 24.0.1 IF001 \n\nAuthoring allows an authenticated user to bypass client-side data validation in an authoring user interface which could cause a denial of service.","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":"IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation denial of service","id":"CVE-2025-1838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"business_logic","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"ESAFENET CDG updateorg.jsp sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-1840"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Incorta Edit Insight csv injection","id":"CVE-2025-1836"},"products":["Cloud Pak for Business Automation"],"published":"2025-05-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak for Automation CSV injection","id":"CVE-2023-35899","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-05"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Business Automation Insights improper input validation","id":"CVE-2025-36092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-03"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation security bypass","id":"CVE-2025-36023","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Cloud Pak for Automation authentication bypass","id":"CVE-2023-38367","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-29"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Multiple security vulnerabilities are addressed with IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation iFixes for August 2026.","id":"CVE-2026-12749","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-15"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Multiple security vulnerabilities are addressed with IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation iFixes for August 2026.","id":"CVE-2026-12750","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-15"}],"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":"2025-08-28","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can bypass client-side validation in the authoring interface, causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-1838/"}
