CVE-2016-3029
HighSummary
IBM Security Access Manager for Web is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized operations on behalf of a trusted user, potentially leading to serious security breaches.
Recommendation
It is recommended to implement additional verification mechanisms, such as CSRF tokens, to secure the application against such attacks.
Other vulnerabilities in IBM Security Access Manager for Web
See all- CVE-2016-5919High
