Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-5757 is a cross-site scripting issue in the IBM Rational ClearQuest Web Client. A crafted URL could cause a user’s browser to run attacker-supplied script or HTML in the ClearQuest web context. The main business risk is compromise of user sessions or trusted workflow data if exposed users follow malicious links. Exposure is most likely where IBM Rational ClearQuest Web Client is deployed, especially versions 7.1.x below 7.1.2.10 or 8.x below 8.0.0.6. Internet-facing or broadly accessible instances carry higher practical risk. Treat this as a targeted remediation item for legacy IBM ClearQuest environments. It is not KEV-listed in the provided bundle, but internet-facing or sensitive workflow deployments should be prioritized because XSS can affect authenticated users and trusted application data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ClearQuest 7.1.x deployments to 7.1.2.10 or later.; Upgrade ClearQuest 8.x deployments to 8.0.0.6 or later.; Review IBM PM77153 and related IBM guidance before applying changes..
