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

Description The issue allows malicious file upload by permitting unrestricted filetype attachments in the Journal entry page. Attackers can exploit this weakness to upload malicious executable files into the system, which can then be sent to victims to perform further attacks.

Recommendations For versions 11.0.0 and 11.0.1, restrict access to the Journal entry page to minimize the risk of exploitation. Consider disabling the file upload feature until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the types of files that can be attached to the Journal entry page to prevent malicious file uploads.
