Description

Symptom

The program contains code that changes its behavior when a user successfully authenticates with a specific username. A malicious user can authenticate to Investigative Case Management (ICM) without legitimate credentials, potentially allowing privilege escalation.

Solution

Apply the corrective instructions associated with the installed release. For releases without a specified corrective instruction, no action is necessary.

Reason and prerequisites

The program code includes a hard-coded username that alters the system’s behavior upon successful authentication. This vulnerability may enable users to gain higher access rights than intended.
