IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 167288.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2019-4582 is a directory traversal flaw in IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1. An authenticated remote attacker could view arbitrary files on the system through a crafted URL request. The known impact is limited confidentiality exposure, not system takeover.

Executive priority

Handle as a scheduled but real remediation item. It is not marked actively exploited in the provided sources, but affected Maximo systems can expose local files to authenticated remote attackers.

Technical view

IBM describes a path traversal issue in Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1, tracked as IBM X-Force ID 167288. CVSS 3.0 is 4.3 with network attack vector, low complexity, required low privileges, no user interaction, and low confidentiality impact only.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to organizations running IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 or 7.6.1. Risk is higher where Maximo is reachable by many authenticated users or exposed beyond trusted administrative networks.

Exploitation context

The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. IBM states exploitation requires a specially crafted URL request and low privileges. Treat as a confidentiality risk until affected systems are patched or otherwise constrained.

Researcher notes

Evidence supports affected versions, attack class, privilege requirement, and CVSS impact. The source bundle does not provide exploit-in-the-wild evidence, exact vulnerable endpoint details, or explicit patch version details, so remediation should be verified against IBM guidance.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify all IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 deployments.
  • Review IBM advisory 6258321 for official remediation guidance.
  • Apply IBM-recommended fixes or upgrades for affected Maximo versions.
  • Restrict Maximo access to trusted networks and required users.
  • Review file and application permissions to reduce sensitive file exposure.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm Maximo version on each deployed instance.
  • Check whether IBM advisory remediation has been applied.
  • Review access logs for traversal-like URL requests.
  • Verify Maximo is not unnecessarily internet-exposed.
  • Confirm authenticated user access is limited to business need.
