Argument injection vulnerability in the iim: URI handler in IBMIM.exe in IBM Installation Manager 1.3.2 and earlier, as used in IBM Rational Robot and Rational Team Concert, allows remote attackers to load arbitrary DLL files via the -vm option, as demonstrated by a reference to a UNC share pathname.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects IBM Installation Manager 1.3.2 and earlier through its iim: URI handler. A malicious link or URI invocation could pass unsafe arguments to IBMIM.exe and cause it to load an arbitrary DLL, potentially from a network share. Public data does not show confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on Windows systems with IBM Installation Manager 1.3.2 or earlier installed, especially where Rational Robot or Rational Team Concert deployed that component and the iim: URI handler remains registered. Treat this as a targeted legacy software risk. The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary DLL loading, but the evidence bundle lacks current exploitation or vendor remediation details. Prioritize discovery and vendor-supported upgrade decisions for any remaining affected IBM tooling. Mitigation focus: Inventory IBM Installation Manager versions across endpoints and build systems.; Prioritize systems running IBM Installation Manager 1.3.2 or earlier.; Check IBM guidance for supported update or replacement instructions..
