Vulnerability Details

Relevant CVE Information:

CVEID:

CVE-2016-3047

DESCRIPTION:

IBM FileNet Workplace could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing
attacks, using an open redirect attack. By persuading a victim to visit a
specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to spoof the URL displayed to redirect a user to a malicious
Web site that would appear to be trusted. This could allow the attacker to
obtain highly sensitive information or conduct further attacks against the
victim.

Workarounds and Mitigations

First, upgrade to Workplace 4.0.2.14.

Then, to avoid the Open Redirection vulnerability, ensure that only the
Workplace Baseline URL is used to access pages.

This is configured in the

securityFilter.xml

file, generally located in the install path under the Workplace/WEB-INF
directory.

List all applicable Workplace Baseline URLs in the

urlWhitelist

section. You may specify SSL and/or non-SSL URLs.

<value>

http://hostname:port/Workplace</value>

<value>

https://hostname:port/Workplace

</value>

Workplace Baseline URLs that are not included in the urlWhitelist section
will be filtered out and not used.
