A vulnerability was found in IBM BigFix Platform (Endpoint Management Software) and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a response splitting vulnerability (HTTP Response Splitting). Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-113. The product receives data from an HTTP agent/component (e.g., web server, proxy, browser, etc.), but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CR and LF characters before the data is included in outgoing HTTP headers. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

IBM BigFix Platform 9.2.0 through 9.2.14 and 9.5 through 9.5.9 is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information. IBM X-force ID: 140692.

The bug was discovered 12/10/2018. The weakness was published 12/12/2018 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2018-1474 since 12/13/2017. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 119843 (IBM BigFix Platform 9.2.x < 9.2.15 / 9.5.x < 9.5.10 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Web Servers and running in the context r.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (119843). Similar entries are available at 127896, 127897, 127898 and 127899.
