Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36351 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM License Metric Tool. 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-2025-36351/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36351/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36351","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36351/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36351","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c8g5-gffj-4cw8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM License Metric Tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass REST API access controls to perform unauthorized actions in IBM License Metric Tool.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"license_metric_tool","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 License Metric Tool 9.2.0 through 9.2.40 \n\ncould allow an authenticated user to bypass access controls in the REST API interface and perform unauthorized actions.","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 License Metric Tool bypass security","id":"CVE-2025-36351","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM License Metric Tool cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2025-36352"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"The Dashboard of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway is Vulnerable to Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2025-36348"},"products":["License Metric Tool"],"published":"2025-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"IBM License Metric Tool cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2025-36352","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-29"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8924","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-20"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"IBM License Metric Tool directory traversal","id":"CVE-2023-43044","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-28"},{"cvss_score":4,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-11"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4776","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-20"}],"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":"2025-09-29","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass REST API access controls to perform unauthorized actions in IBM License Metric Tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36351/"}
