CVE-2024-49827
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 · uneditedIBM Concert Software 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 is vulnerable to excessive data exposure, allowing attackers to access sensitive information without proper filtering.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIBM Concert Software versions 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 contains an excessive data exposure vulnerability where API endpoints return more sensitive information than necessary to users, due to lack of proper response filtering. Attackers can exploit this by making unauthenticated or authenticated API calls to access sensitive data that should not be exposed in responses.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify IBM Concert installation and versionLocate the IBM Concert installation directory and check the version file or use the product's version command if availableAffected if Installed version is between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 (inclusive of 1.0.0, exclusive of 2.0.0)
-
Enumerate API endpointsReview available API documentation or use API discovery methods to list all exposed endpoints in the IBM Concert instanceAffected if API endpoints exist and are accessible
-
Test API responses for data exposureMake test API calls to various endpoints and inspect the response payloads for sensitive information such as internal identifiers, system details, configuration data, or user information that may not be necessary for the requested operationAffected if API responses contain sensitive or unnecessary data fields beyond what is required for the requested operation
-
Check for response filtering configurationInspect IBM Concert configuration files or settings for any response filtering or field-level authorization controlsAffected if No response filtering is configured or response filtering is not applied to limit exposed data
A user is affected if IBM Concert version 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 is installed and API responses expose more data than necessary due to lack of proper response filtering.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data2.0.0
Implement response data filtering and field-level authorization checks to ensure only data that a user is authorized to view is returned in API responses. Conduct a comprehensive audit of all API endpoints to identify and remediate over-exposure issues.
