A Privilege Escalation Vulnerability exists in IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5, 7.1, and 6.2, when WebSeal with Basic Authentication is used, due to a failure to invalidate the authentication session, which could let a malicious user obtain unauthorized access.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6 through 7.6.3 installs with a default administrator account that a remote intruder could use to gain administrator access to the system. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-4966. IBM X-Force ID: 142116.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.1, 7.5, and 7.6; Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 and 7.5; Control Desk 7.5 and 7.6; Tivoli Asset Management for IT 7.1 and 7.2; and certain other IBM products allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and read arbitrary ticket worklog entries via unspecified vectors. IBM X-Force ID: 106460.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 and 7.6 is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database. IBM X-Force ID: 138820.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server. IBM X-Force ID: 129106.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, using an open redirect attack. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the URL displayed to redirect a user to a malicious Web site that would appear to be trusted. This could allow the attacker to obtain highly sensitive information or conduct further attacks against the victim. IBM X-Force ID: 131548.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 and 7.6 could allow an authenticated user to inject commands into work orders that could be executed by another user that downloads the affected file. IBM X-Force ID: 126538.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 and 7.6 could allow an authenticated user to manipulate work orders to forge emails which could be used to conduct further advanced attacks. IBM X-Force ID: 126684.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.1, 7.5, and 7.6 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 123778.

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.1, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a local user to obtain sensitive information due to inappropriate data retention of attachments. IBM X-Force ID: 123299.
