CVE-2025-14810
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 InfoSphere Information Server 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 does not invalidate a session after privileges have been modified which could allow an authenticated user to retain access to sensitive information. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L CWE: CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration CVSS Source: IBM CVSS Base score: 6.3 CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
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 · high confidenceIBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7.0.0-11.7.1.6 fails to invalidate active user sessions when user privileges are modified. This session management flaw allows an authenticated user whose privileges have been reduced or modified to continue accessing the system with previously held (higher) privileges, potentially exposing sensitive information beyond the user's current authorization level.

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 the installed IBM InfoSphere Information Server versionRun the command to retrieve version information, typically via the console or by checking the installation directory for version files (e.g., checking the version.properties or using the versionInfo command in the installation bin directory)Affected if The installed version is 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 inclusive
-
Confirm the product is IBM InfoSphere Information ServerVerify the product name matches IBM InfoSphere Information Server from the version check or installation metadataAffected if The product is IBM InfoSphere Information Server
-
Check for active user sessionsQuery the session management interface or user session logs to identify currently authenticated sessionsAffected if There are active user sessions in the system while running an affected version
-
Verify session invalidation behavior on privilege changesReview system audit logs or session management configuration to determine if sessions remain active when user privileges are modifiedAffected if Sessions persist without requiring re-authentication after user privilege modifications in an affected version
You are affected if IBM InfoSphere Information Server version 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 is installed and active user sessions can retain prior privileges after those privileges have been modified.

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 dataImplement session invalidation whenever user privileges are modified, and consider requiring re-authentication for sensitive privilege changes.
