When using Apache Tomcat versions 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M4, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.34, 8.5.0 to 8.5.54 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.103 if a) an attacker is able to control the contents and name of a file on the server; and b) the server is configured to use the PersistenceManager with a FileStore; and c) the PersistenceManager is configured with sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter="null" (the default unless a SecurityManager is used) or a sufficiently lax filter to allow the attacker provided object to be deserialized; and d) the attacker knows the relative file path from the storage location used by FileStore to the file the attacker has control over; then, using a specifically crafted request, the attacker will be able to trigger remote code execution via deserialization of the file under their control. Note that all of conditions a) to d) must be true for the attack to succeed.

IBM Marketing Platform 9.1.0, 9.1.2, 10.0, and 10.1 exposes sensitive information in the headers that could be used by an authenticated attacker in further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 120906.

IBM Distributed Marketing and Marketing Platform 8.6, 9.0, 9.1, and 10.0 could allow an authenticated user to escalate their privileges and gain administrative permissions over the web application. IBM X-Force ID: 118282.

IBM Marketing Platform 9.1 and 10.0 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials. IBM X-Force ID: 110564.

IBM Marketing Platform 10.0 could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, caused by an open redirect vulnerability in various scripts. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to redirect a victim to arbitrary Web sites. IBM X-Force ID: 110236.
