CVE-2017-1314: IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management 5.0 through 5.0.2 and 6.0...

IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management 5.0 through 5.0.2 and 6.0 through 6.0.5 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 125725.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is a cross-site scripting issue in older IBM Rational Quality Manager and Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management releases. An authenticated user could place JavaScript into the web interface, potentially changing what another trusted user sees or exposing credentials within that session.

Executive priority

Treat as a moderate business risk. It is not evidenced as actively exploited, but it can affect trusted sessions and credentials in legacy development tooling. Prioritize remediation where the platform supports critical projects or external users.

Technical view

CVE-2017-1314 affects IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management 5.0 through 5.0.2 and 6.0 through 6.0.5. CVSS 3.0 is 5.4, network-accessible, low complexity, requiring low privileges and user interaction, with limited confidentiality and integrity impact and changed scope.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running the listed IBM Rational Quality Manager or Collaborative Lifecycle Management versions, especially where the web UI is reachable by authenticated project users. Internet exposure is not stated in the sources.

Exploitation context

The sources support an authenticated web UI XSS scenario, not remote unauthenticated compromise. The CVE is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Key constraints are PR:L and UI:R, indicating an attacker needs some authenticated access and a victim interaction path. The source bundle does not provide a CWE, exact injection field, proof of concept, or fixed version details, so validation should stay inventory- and vendor-advisory-driven.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify any IBM RQM or CLM instances running affected versions.
  • Review IBM advisory and X-Force entry for the official remediation path.
  • Apply IBM-provided fixes or upgrade guidance for affected deployments.
  • Restrict web UI access to trusted users while remediation is pending.
  • Prioritize systems handling credentials, regulated data, or external collaborators.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory IBM RQM and CLM versions across production and non-production environments.
  • Confirm whether versions match 5.0-5.0.2 or 6.0-6.0.5.
  • Check IBM guidance for fixed levels applicable to each deployment.
  • Review web application logs for suspicious stored script content indicators.
  • Validate remediation by confirming deployed version or fix status.
