Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36065 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Sterling Connect:Express Adapter for Sterling B2B Integrator 5.2.0. 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-2025-36065/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36065/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36065","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36065/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36065","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-99f2-vq84-x2mh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Sterling Connect:Express","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can impersonate others due to sessions not invalidating on browser closure in IBM Sterling Connect:Express.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"sterling_connect\\","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-613","name":"DEPRECATED: Insufficient Session Expiration"}],"description":"IBM Sterling Connect:Express Adapter for Sterling B2B Integrator 5.2.0 5.2.0.00 through 5.2.0.12 does not invalidate session after a browser closure which could allow an authenticated user to impersonate another user on the system.","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":"Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX.","id":"CVE-2025-36065","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX.","id":"CVE-2025-36066"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Sterling Connect:Express for Microsoft Windows information disclosure","id":"CVE-2025-36064"},"products":["Sterling Connect:Express Adapter for Sterling B2B Integrator 5.2.0"],"published":"2026-01-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Connect:Express for UNIX denial of service","id":"CVE-2023-32331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Sterling Connect Direct for Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2020-4767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX command execution","id":"CVE-2025-36137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-30"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX","id":"CVE-2018-1903","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-10"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX server-side request forgery","id":"CVE-2023-29260","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-19"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX.","id":"CVE-2025-36063","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"}],"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":"2026-01-20","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can impersonate others due to sessions not invalidating on browser closure in IBM Sterling Connect:Express.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36065/"}
