IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 FP4 and

12.0.0 through 12.0.4

is vulnerable to an Expression Language (EL) Injection vulnerability. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information, consume memory resources, and/or cause the server to crash when using a specially crafted EL statement.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of an expression language (EL) statement in a framework such as a Java Server Page (JSP) using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended EL statement before it is executed.
