Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 may fail to end a session after logout. A local user could potentially use that lingering session to impersonate another user. This is a medium-severity issue, most concerning where Maximo is accessed from shared or physically accessible systems.

Executive priority

Handle through the normal vulnerability remediation cycle, with faster action for shared-access or operationally critical Maximo environments. This is not evidenced as actively exploited, but impersonation risk can affect asset-management integrity and operational trust.

Technical view

CVE-2019-4591 is a session invalidation weakness in IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1. The CVSS 3.0 score is 5.9 with local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. IBM X-Force tracks it as ID 167451.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1. Risk is higher on shared workstations, kiosk-style access, jump hosts, or environments where local users can access recently logged-out browser sessions.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The described attack requires local access and depends on a session remaining valid after logout. Treat this as a session-management control failure rather than a remote internet-scale vulnerability.

Researcher notes

No CWE is listed in the provided bundle. CVSS indicates local access, low complexity, and low CIA impact. Remediation details are not included in the prompt beyond IBM advisory references, so avoid naming specific fixed builds unless confirmed from IBM guidance.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 deployments.
  • Review IBM advisory and X-Force entry for official remediation guidance.
  • Apply IBM-recommended fixes or updates after change testing.
  • Reduce shared workstation risk with browser cleanup and session controls.
  • Prioritize high-value Maximo environments and shared-access locations first.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm deployed Maximo versions against the affected 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 range.
  • Verify logout invalidates server-side sessions in an authorized test environment.
  • Review access logs for suspicious reuse after logout events.
  • Confirm remediation status against IBM support guidance.
  • Document compensating controls for systems awaiting vendor remediation.
