CVE-2016-8960

What is CVE-2016-8960?

IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2 is susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which allows lower-privilege users to gain elevated access. This occurs when an attacker intercepts the cookie value of a high-privilege user during an HTTP request. By reusing this cookie in their own requests, the low-privilege user can adopt the permissions of the higher-privilege user, potentially leading to unauthorized actions within the application.
