Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.2 is vulnerable to injection attacks in application logging by not sanitizing user provided data. This could lead to further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 282956.
