Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Cognos Controller versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.1

Description The issue concerns a malicious file upload vulnerability due to the lack of validation of the type of file uploaded to Journal entry attachments. Attackers can exploit this weakness to upload malicious executable files into the system, which can then be sent to victims to perform further attacks.
