CVE-2025-1761
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 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 · high confidenceIBM Concert Software versions 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 contains a heap memory disclosure vulnerability where allocated memory is not properly cleared before being read. A remote attacker can exploit this to obtain sensitive information from heap memory contents, similar to classic memory disclosure bugs.

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 installed IBM Concert Software versionLocate and inspect the IBM Concert Software installation directory, or run the software with a version flag if available (such as 'ibm-concert --version' or checking the product 'About' information in the GUI/CLI). Compare the discovered version number against the affected range.Affected if The installed version is 1.0.0, 1.0.x, 1.1.0, or any version greater than or equal to 1.0.0 and less than or equal to 1.1.0.
-
Confirm the software is actively runningCheck running processes or services for IBM Concert components. On Linux, use commands like 'ps aux | grep -i concert' or 'systemctl list-units | grep concert'. On Windows, check for Concert processes in Task Manager or via 'sc query' for services.Affected if The IBM Concert Software service or application is actively running or loadable in memory.
-
Verify the vulnerability windowReview any change management, software inventory, or configuration management records to confirm the exact version deployed. If the version cannot be determined via CLI, check installation logs, manifest files, or packaging metadata in the installation directory.Affected if The version cannot be determined or is confirmed to fall within the 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 inclusive range.
-
Assess network exposureReview firewall rules, network ACLs, or exposure configurations to determine if the IBM Concert interface is accessible from untrusted networks. Check whether remote attacker access to the Concert web interface or API is possible.Affected if The IBM Concert interface is accessible from networks where untrusted attackers could send requests to trigger the memory read operation.
You are affected if the installed IBM Concert Software version is between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 inclusive and the application is running or loadable in memory.

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 dataUpgrade to IBM Concert Software version 1.1.1 or later which contains the fix for this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network segmentation and monitor for unusual access patterns.
