Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Spectrum Protect Plus versions 10.1.0 through 10.1.6

Description The issue is caused by improper validation of input by the HOST headers, allowing a remote attacker to inject HTTP HOST headers by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. This enables the attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, or session hijacking.

Recommendations For versions 10.1.0 through 10.1.6, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the HOST headers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
