CVE-2017-1449

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Emptoris Sourcing versions 9.5 through 10.1.3

Description The issue allows a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks using an open redirect attack. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, the attacker could exploit this to spoof the URL displayed, redirecting the user to a malicious Web site that appears trusted. This could allow the attacker to obtain highly sensitive information or conduct further attacks against the victim.

Recommendations For IBM Emptoris Sourcing versions 9.5 through 10.1.3, consider restricting access to external redirects to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using open redirects in the application until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
