The server in IBM License Metric Tool 7.2.2 before IF15 and 7.5 before IF24 and Tivoli Asset Discovery for Distributed 7.2.2 before IF15 and 7.5 before IF24 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or send TCP requests to intranet servers via XML data containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an XML parsing flaw in legacy IBM license and asset discovery servers. A remote attacker could make the server read local files or contact internal systems. For executives, the main concern is sensitive file exposure and use of the server as a bridge into intranet resources. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running IBM License Metric Tool 7.2.2 before IF15 or 7.5 before IF24, or Tivoli Asset Discovery for Distributed 7.2.2 before IF15 or 7.5 before IF24. Prioritize remediation if the affected server is internet-facing, reachable by many internal users, or has access to sensitive local files or intranet systems. Lower urgency may be appropriate only after confirming the product is absent, retired, or already fixed. Mitigation focus: Apply IBM License Metric Tool 7.2.2 IF15 or 7.5 IF24, or later supported fixes.; Apply Tivoli Asset Discovery for Distributed 7.2.2 IF15 or 7.5 IF24, or later supported fixes.; Review IBM advisory guidance for any product-specific configuration or upgrade notes..
