IBM Turbonomic prometurbo agent 8.16.0 through 8.17.6 IBM Turbonomic Application Resource Management grants excessive cluster‑wide permissions, including unrestricted read access to all secrets. An attacker that compromises the operator or its service account can exfiltrate sensitive credentials, escalate privileges, and potentially achieve full cluster compromise.
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, 7.3, and 7.2 s vulnerable to privilege escalation caused by an invalid IBM i Web Administration GUI authorization check. A malicious actor could cause user-controlled code to run with administrator privilege.

IBM Data Risk Manager Directory Traversal Vulnerability
critical
activeCISA KEVCVE-2020-4430
IBM Data Risk Manager contains a directory traversal vulnerability that could allow a remote authenticated attacker to traverse directories and send a specially crafted URL request to download arbitrary files from the system.
IBM Planning Analytics Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
critical
activeCISA KEVCVE-2019-4716

IBM Data Risk Manager Security Bypass Vulnerability
critical
activeCISA KEVCVE-2020-4427
IBM Data Risk Manager contains a security bypass vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions when configured with SAML authentication. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the authentication process and gain full administrative access to the system.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the find_fixedlength function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE before 8.38 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information from heap memory and possibly bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted regular expression with an excess closing parenthesis.
IBM FileNet Workplace 4.0.2 before 4.0.2.14 LA012 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an XML document containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.
IBM AppScan Source 8.7 through 9.0.3.3 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an XML document containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.
IBM API Connect (aka APIConnect) before 5.0.3.0 with NPM before 2.2.8 includes certain internal server credentials in the software package, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging knowledge of these credentials.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the ax Shared Libraries in the Agent in IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) 6.2.2 before FP9, 6.2.3 before FP5, and 6.3.0 before FP2 on Linux and UNIX allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
The notifications component in IBM TRIRIGA Applications 10.4 and 10.5 before 10.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive password information, and consequently gain privileges, via unspecified vectors.
