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 Jazz Foundation 7.0.3 through 7.0.3 iFix019 and 7.1.0 through 7.1.0 iFix005 is vulnerable to access control violations that allows the users to view or access/perform actions beyond their expected capability.

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 confidence

IBM Jazz Foundation versions 7.0.3 through 7.0.3 iFix019 and 7.1.0 through 7.1.0 iFix005 contain an access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to perform actions or access resources beyond their assigned role permissions. This is an authorization bypass issue in the Jazz platform that underlies IBM Rational CLM applications.

MitigationApply IBM iFix020 or later for version 7.0.3 and iFix006 or later for version 7.1.0. Review user role assignments and audit access logs for suspicious privilege escalation activity until patches are applied.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify IBM Jazz Foundation version
    Locate the Jazz Foundation installation directory and check the version information file or use the Jazz administrative console to view the installed version and iFix level
    Affected if The installed version is 7.0.3 with iFix019 or earlier, or 7.1.0 with iFix005 or earlier
  2. Confirm Jazz platform is running
    Verify the Jazz server process is active and accessible - check if the Jazz-based application is currently operational
    Affected if The Jazz platform is running with an affected version, making the authorization bypass accessible to authenticated users
  3. Verify user authentication is enabled
    Check the Jazz security configuration to confirm user authentication is active - review the authentication settings in the Jazz admin web interface or configuration files
    Affected if User authentication is enabled, which is required for the vulnerability to be exploitable since authenticated users can bypass role restrictions
  4. Review role assignment configuration
    Examine the role-based access control settings in the Jazz administrative console to understand the current role permissions assigned to users
    Affected if Role assignments exist in the system - the vulnerability allows authenticated users to exceed their assigned role permissions

A system is affected if it runs IBM Jazz Foundation version 7.0.3 through 7.0.3 iFix019 or version 7.1.0 through 7.1.0 iFix005, with authentication enabled and users assigned to roles.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply IBM iFix020 or later for version 7.0.3 and iFix006 or later for version 7.1.0. Review user role assignments and audit access logs for suspicious privilege escalation activity until patches are applied.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Apply Jazz Foundation 7.0.3 iFix020 or later, or 7.1.0 iFix006 or later; alternatively, upgrade to a later major release if available

  1. 1. Identify the current Jazz Foundation iFix level by accessing the IBM Jazz server administration console or checking the installation details.
  2. 2. Navigate to IBM Support Portal at https://www.ibm.com/support/ and search for security bulletin for CVE-2025-15395.
  3. 3. Download and apply the appropriate interim fix (iFix) as specified in the IBM security bulletin: iFix020 or later for Jazz Foundation 7.0.3, and iFix006 or later for Jazz Foundation 7.1.0.
  4. 4. Test the fix in a non-production environment before deploying to production to verify the authorization controls are properly enforced.
  5. 5. After applying the fix, verify that user permissions are correctly restricted according to their assigned roles.
Caveat Interim fixes typically contain only security and critical bug fixes with minimal risk, but always review the fix pack readme for any known issues before deployment
