CVE-2025-1722
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 1.0.0 through 2.1.0 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from allocated memory due to improper clearing of heap memory.
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 versions 1.0.0 through 2.1.0 contains a vulnerability where heap memory is not properly cleared before being freed or reallocated. This allows a remote attacker to potentially obtain sensitive information (such as session tokens, credentials, or other data from previous memory usage) from memory that has been allocated but not sanitized.

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.
-
Check if IBM Concert is installedLook for IBM Concert installation directories, check system services, or query package managers for IBM Concert packages. Common locations include /opt/ibm/concert or similar installation paths.Affected if IBM Concert software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionRun the command to query the IBM Concert version, such as 'concert --version', checking a VERSION file in the installation directory, or using the product's CLI tool if available.Affected if The version returned is >= 1.0.0 and < 2.2.0
-
Verify the service is running or accessibleCheck if the IBM Concert service is active, listening on its network ports, or if the web/API interface is accessible.Affected if The service is running and accessible to network attackers
-
Confirm the deployment contextDetermine if IBM Concert handles sensitive data (user credentials, session tokens, API keys) that would be stored in or processed by heap memory.Affected if IBM Concert processes or stores sensitive data that could be exposed through the unsanitized heap memory
If IBM Concert is installed and the version is 1.0.0 through 2.1.0 (or any version less than 2.2.0), the environment is affected by this memory information disclosure vulnerability.

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 · scoped2.2.0
Apply the vendor patch when available; until then, monitor access to affected systems and ensure proper memory management practices are followed in any custom code interacting with IBM Concert.
IBM Concert 2.2.0 or later
- Upgrade IBM Concert to version 2.2.0 or later to remediate the heap memory information disclosure vulnerability (CWE-244).
- Consult IBM's official upgrade documentation for Concert to perform the version upgrade.
- After upgrading, verify the installation and test that Concert functionality is intact.
