Executive Summary

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 have a vulnerability in PASE where an authenticated attacker could access sensitive information they are not permitted to view. This is due to improper information exposure in the environment.

Detection Guidance

Detection involves checking for the presence of IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 and verifying if the required PTFs (MJ11362 for 7.3, MJ11363 for 7.4, MJ11364 for 7.5, MJ11365 for 7.6) are installed. Use the command DSPPTF to check installed PTFs on IBM i systems.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to access confidential data such as process details or other sensitive information, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized access to restricted resources.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations that mandate strict data protection controls.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the relevant PTF for your IBM i version immediately: MJ11362 for 7.3, MJ11363 for 7.4, MJ11364 for 7.5, or MJ11365 for 7.6. If using an unsupported version, upgrade to a supported release.
