CVE-2025-36107
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 Cognos Analytics Mobile (iOS) 1.1.0 through 1.1.22 could allow malicious actors to obtain sensitive information due to the cleartext transmission of data.
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 Cognos Analytics Mobile for iOS versions 1.1.0 through 1.1.22 transmits sensitive data in cleartext (unencrypted), likely over HTTP instead of HTTPS. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept and read sensitive information such as authentication credentials or business data transmitted by the mobile app.

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 Cognos Analytics Mobile versionOn the iOS device, go to Settings > Apps > IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile and view the Version field, or check the App Store listing if installed via MDMAffected if The version is 1.1.0 through 1.1.22 (versions prior to 1.1.23)
-
Verify network communication protocolUse a network proxy (e.g., Burp Suite, Charles Proxy) or packet capture tool on a test device running the app to intercept traffic between the app and Cognos server. Observe whether traffic flows over HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443)Affected if The app transmits data over HTTP (port 80) instead of HTTPS (port 443) for sensitive operations like authentication or data retrieval
-
Check Cognos server endpoint configurationExamine the Cognos Analytics server configuration to determine if HTTP endpoints are enabled. Access the Cognos Administration console and review the dispatch URIs for the Mobile service, or consult server documentation for HTTP/HTTPS settingsAffected if The Cognos server exposes HTTP (non-encrypted) endpoints that the mobile app can reach
You are affected if IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile for iOS version 1.1.0-1.1.22 is installed and the app communicates with the server over unencrypted HTTP instead of HTTPS.
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 · scoped1.1.23
Upgrade IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile (iOS) to version 1.1.23 or later. If a fix is unavailable, ensure all server endpoints enforce HTTPS and consider implementing certificate pinning to prevent downgrade attacks.
IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile iOS version 1.1.23 or later
- Upgrade IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile (iOS) from any version 1.1.0 through 1.1.22 to version 1.1.23 or later
- Verify the upgrade by checking the app version in the iOS App Store or within the application settings
- Ensure the upgrade is deployed to all affected iOS devices within the organization
- After upgrading, verify that sensitive data is now transmitted over encrypted channels (HTTPS/TLS) rather than cleartext
