- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/A:N/AC:L/AV:N/C:L/I:L/PR:N/S:C/UI:R/E:U/RC:C/RL:O
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2018-12-12 · Updated: 2024-09-16

## Affected

- IBM BigFix Platform: 9.5.9, 9.2.0, 9.2.14, 9.5.0

## Description

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.
