IBM Navigator Security Slip-Up: Token Bypass Vulnerability Exposed!
IBM i Navigator is vulnerable to HTTP security token bypass, CVE-2024-51464. Attackers can manipulate token digits to bypass restrictions, tricking the server into accepting invalid tokens. This flaw allows unauthorized operations, making it a significant security concern. Remember, in cybersecurity, zeroes aren’t always heroes!
Hot Take:
IBM’s Navigator for i is apparently as good at keeping secrets as my grandma is at keeping her password secure—it’s just a string of zeros! Who knew that “navigating” past security could be as simple as padding a token with some zeros? Looks like IBM’s Navigator has taken a wrong turn on the information superhighway!
Key Points:
- IBM’s Navigator for i is susceptible to an HTTP security token bypass vulnerability.
- The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2024-51464.
- Attackers can modify security tokens by padding the last eight digits with zeros or incrementing the digits.
- The vulnerability allows unauthorized operations by bypassing the HTTP 403 Forbidden response.
- Intended fix released on December 20, 2024, after vendor notification.
