Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36115 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-2025-36115/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36115/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36115","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36115/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36115","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pqhf-8hv3-ccc7"],"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":"An authenticated user can impersonate another user due to session IDs not being invalidated after use 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-384","name":"Session Fixation"}],"description":"IBM Sterling Connect:Express Adapter for Sterling B2B Integrator 5.2.0.00 through 5.2.0.12 does not disallow the session id after use 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-2025-36115","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":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i cross-site websocket hijacking","id":"CVE-2025-36116"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM QRadar SOAR Plugin App path traversal","id":"CVE-2025-36114"},"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"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM Sterling Connect:Express for UNIX.","id":"CVE-2025-36065","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":"An authenticated user can impersonate another user due to session IDs not being invalidated after use in IBM Sterling Connect:Express.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36115/"}
