CVE-2024-55910
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 1.0.5 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF). This may allow an authenticated attacker to send unauthorized requests from the system, potentially leading to network enumeration or facilitating other attacks.
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 1.0.5 contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. An authenticated attacker can manipulate the application to make unauthorized HTTP requests to internal or external resources, enabling network enumeration and potential pivoting to internal services.

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 versionCheck the product version through the software's built-in about page, command-line interface, or installation metadata. Common locations include the software's GUI under Help > About, or running 'concert --version' if CLI is available.Affected if The installed version is 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, or 1.0.5 (any version from 1.0.0 up to but not including 1.1.0)
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledReview the authentication configuration to verify that user accounts with login access exist. Check whether the application enforces authentication for API endpoints and web interfaces.Affected if Authentication is enforced and users can log in, because the SSRF requires an authenticated attacker to exploit the vulnerability
-
Identify URL-fetching features in useAudit the IBM Concert application for any features that accept user-supplied URLs or hostnames, such as webhooks, external resource imports, integration endpoints, or any functionality that makes outbound HTTP requests based on user input.Affected if Any feature accepts URLs or hostnames from authenticated users, as this is the attack surface for SSRF exploitation
-
Review network configurationCheck network logs or proxy configurations to identify whether the application has historically made unexpected outbound HTTP requests to internal or external resources that were not initiated by legitimate user actions.Affected if The application has made outbound requests to internal infrastructure (such as internal IP ranges like 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, or localhost) that cannot be attributed to normal user activity
You are affected if IBM Concert version is between 1.0.0 and 1.0.5 inclusive, authentication is enabled, and any feature accepting URLs is accessible to authenticated users.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped1.1.0
Implement strict allowlist-based validation for all user-supplied URLs or hostnames used in server-side requests. Consider disabling unnecessary URL schemas and adding network segmentation to limit the impact of SSRF exploitation.
1.1.0
- Upgrade IBM Concert Software from version 1.0.x to version 1.1.0 or later
- After upgrading, verify the SSRF vulnerability is no longer present by testing the affected functionality
- Confirm that all application features function correctly after the upgrade
