Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Event Streams version 2018.3.0

Description The issue allows a remote attacker to submit an API request with a fake Host request header. This can be exploited by an attacker who has already gained authorized access via the CLI to spoof the request header.

Recommendations For IBM Event Streams version 2018.3.0, consider restricting access to the API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the Host request header in API requests until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
