Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IBM WebSphere MQ up to 7.4 (Application Server Software). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in WMQ Telemetry in IBM WebSphere MQ 7.5 before 7.5.0.3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted URI.

The weakness was shared 03/01/2014 (Website). The advisory is shared at xforce.iss.net. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-4054 since 06/07/2013. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 73103 (IBM WebSphere MQ 7.1 < 7.1.0.5 / 7.5 < 7.5.0.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows.

Upgrading to version 7.5 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (86506), Tenable (73103), SecurityFocus (BID 65897†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-43721†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
