CVE-2015-0173: The HTTP connection-management functionality in Internet Pass-Thru (IPT) before 2.1.0.2 in IBM WebSphere MQ...

The HTTP connection-management functionality in Internet Pass-Thru (IPT) before 2.1.0.2 in IBM WebSphere MQ, when HTTPS is disabled, does not properly generate MQIPT Session IDs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions on MQ message data by predicting an ID value.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects IBM WebSphere MQ Internet Pass-Thru when older than 2.1.0.2 and running without HTTPS. Predictable MQIPT session IDs could let a remote attacker bypass intended restrictions on MQ message data. Exposure depends on whether MQIPT is deployed and reachable. Most likely exposure is legacy IBM WebSphere MQ IPT installations before 2.1.0.2 where HTTPS is disabled and the MQIPT service is reachable by untrusted networks or users. Prioritize if MQIPT handles sensitive message flows or is reachable outside trusted networks. The issue is old and configuration-specific, but it affects message-data restrictions in enterprise middleware. Mitigation focus: Identify all IBM WebSphere MQ IPT deployments and versions.; Upgrade MQIPT to 2.1.0.2 or later per IBM guidance.; Check IBM guidance before relying on HTTPS configuration as mitigation..
