Title: IBM Installation Manager 'iim://' URI Handling Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
IBM Installation Manager is an application that allows users to install, update, modify, or uninstall applications.
Installation Manager is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the application fails to handle specially crafted 'iim://' URIs. Specifically, when exploited through Internet Explorer, it's possible to specify an extra command-line argument to the URI.
Attackers could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
The following products that include Installation Manager are vulnerable:
IBM Rational Robot
IBM Rational Team Concert
Affected Products:
- IBM Installation Manager 1.3.0
