Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Emptoris Sourcing versions 9.5.x through 10.1.x

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 a user to a malicious Web site that would appear to be trusted. This could allow the attacker to obtain highly sensitive information or conduct further attacks against the victim.

Recommendations For versions 9.5.x through 10.1.x, consider restricting access to the redirect functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the redirect feature in IBM Emptoris Sourcing to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
