CVE-2025-14684: CWE-117 Improper Output Neutralization for Logs in IBM Maximo Application Suite - Monitor Component
CVE-2025-14684 is a medium severity vulnerability in IBM Maximo Application Suite - Monitor Component versions 8. 10, 8. 11, 9. 0, and 9. 1. It involves improper output neutralization for logs (CWE-117), allowing an unauthorized user to inject data into log messages due to insufficient sanitization of special elements when writing to log files. This could lead to log injection or manipulation but does not impact confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild. There is no information about an available patch or official remediation from IBM at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM Maximo Application Suite - Monitor Component versions 8.10 through 9.1 contain a vulnerability classified as CWE-117, improper output neutralization for logs.
