Title
Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Aspera Connect
Summary
IBM Aspera Connect 1.6.1 through 4.2.19 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information and modify host trust configuration due to missing authentication and overly permissive cross-origin access controls in the local HTTP service. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious web page, an attacker could perform unauthorized cross-origin requests to read and modify configuration.
