Security Bulletin
Summary
Link Injection vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to embed links (URLs) to an external site or to different pages (forms) within IBM® InfoSphere® Master Data Management - Collaborative Edition. The links can appear to be valid application links. Clicking a link might cause the user to navigate to unintended sites or perform unintended actions within the application. Customers on certain versions of the IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management - Collaborative Edition are potentially impacted by these vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities might cause various issues including, but not limited to, navigation to unintended external websites, apparently broken application functions, and theft of user credentials and information. The user credentials and information might be stolen by persuading the user to provide them using a fictitious login or profile page.
