Ibm · Ibm Storage Defender - Data Protect · CVE-2023-50963
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
IBM Storage Defender - Data Protect versions 1.0.0 through 1.4.1
**Description**
The issue is caused by improper validation of input by the HOST headers, leading to HTTP header injection. This could allow an attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, or session hijacking.
**Recommendations**
For versions 1.0.0 through 1.4.1, consider restricting access to the HOST headers to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, disabling the vulnerable HTTP header injection functionality until a patch is available may help mitigate the risk. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
