Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 have a SQL injection flaw that could let a remote, low-privileged attacker read or change back-end database data. The business concern is unauthorized changes to asset, maintenance, or operational records.
Executive priority
Treat as a time-bound remediation item for Maximo environments. It is not currently supported as actively exploited in the provided evidence, but database tampering risk justifies prioritizing exposed or business-critical deployments.
Technical view
CVE-2019-4671 is a network-reachable SQL injection in IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1. CVSS 3.0 score is 6.3 with low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to organizations running IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 or 7.6.1. The provided CVSS vector indicates low privileges are required; unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. IBM describes a remote attacker sending specially crafted SQL statements, but no public exploit status or exploit maturity beyond CVSS E:U is provided.
Researcher notes
Key constraints are PR:L, AV:N, AC:L, UI:N, scope unchanged, and low CIA impacts. No CWE is supplied in the bundle. Do not assume affected products beyond IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1.
Mitigation direction
- Identify all IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 deployments.
- Review IBM advisory guidance and apply the vendor-supported remediation.
- Restrict Maximo access to trusted users and networks until remediated.
- Monitor Maximo and database logs for unauthorized data changes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm installed Maximo versions against the affected 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 list.
- Verify whether IBM advisory remediation has been applied.
- Check whether affected Maximo interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review recent records for unexpected additions, modifications, or deletions.
