CVE-2025-2670 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting IBM OpenPages version 9.0, specifically related to the workflow feature's REST endpoints. The vulnerability arises from insufficient security controls on certain REST API endpoints, allowing an authenticated user to access sensitive system information about workflow configurations and internal states that should not be exposed. This is classified under CWE-497, which pertains to the exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere. The vulnerability does not allow modification or disruption of data or services but leaks information that could potentially aid an attacker in further reconnaissance or targeted attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting low impact on confidentiality, no impact on integrity or availability, and requiring low attack complexity but with privileges (authenticated user) needed. No user interaction is required, and the scope remains unchanged. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the publication date, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability is limited to IBM OpenPages 9.0, a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform used by enterprises to manage regulatory and operational risks.

For European organizations using IBM OpenPages 9.0, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive workflow configuration details to users who have authenticated access but should not have visibility into these internal states. While the direct impact on confidentiality is limited, the leaked information could facilitate more sophisticated attacks by revealing system internals, workflow logic, or configuration weaknesses. This could increase the risk of insider threats or privilege escalation attempts. Given that OpenPages is often used in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government sectors in Europe, exposure of such information could indirectly affect compliance posture and risk management processes. However, since exploitation requires authenticated access, the threat is primarily from malicious insiders or compromised accounts rather than external attackers without credentials.

European organizations should prioritize the following mitigations: 1) Restrict access to IBM OpenPages workflows and REST API endpoints strictly on a least-privilege basis, ensuring users only have access to necessary functions. 2) Implement strong authentication and session management controls to prevent unauthorized account access. 3) Monitor and audit user activities related to workflow configurations and REST API usage to detect anomalous access patterns. 4) Engage with IBM support or security advisories to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 5) Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) or API gateways to add an additional layer of filtering and monitoring on REST endpoints. 6) Conduct internal security reviews and penetration testing focused on workflow features to identify any further weaknesses. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, monitoring, and proactive engagement with vendor updates specific to the affected product and feature.
