AI-suggested
Organizations should implement strict network segmentation and access controls to limit authenticated access to IBM Doors Next environments. Monitoring and logging of email-related activities within the platform should be enhanced to detect anomalous sender identities or unusual email patterns. Deploying and enforcing email authentication standards such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC within the corporate email infrastructure can reduce the impact of spoofed emails. Until official patches are released by IBM, consider applying temporary compensating controls such as restricting email functionalities or disabling email sender spoofing features if configurable. Regularly audit user privileges and enforce strong authentication mechanisms to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Engage with IBM support to obtain timelines for patches and apply them promptly once available. Additionally, conduct user awareness training focused on recognizing suspicious internal emails that may result from spoofing attempts.
Description
IBM Engineering Requirements Management Doors Next 7.0.2, 7.0.3, and 7.1 could allow an authenticated user on the network to spoof email identity of the sender due to improper verification of source data.
