CVE-2024-52367 Overview
CVE-2024-52367 affects IBM Concert Software versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.2.1, and 1.0.3. The flaw allows an unauthorized remote actor to obtain sensitive system information from the application. Attackers can use this disclosed data to plan and execute follow-on attacks against the host environment. The weakness maps to [CWE-497]: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere.
Critical Impact
Unauthenticated network attackers can retrieve sensitive system details from IBM Concert deployments, enabling reconnaissance for further intrusion activity.

Technical Details for CVE-2024-52367
Vulnerability Analysis
IBM Concert is an application designed to consolidate operational, security, and compliance data across hybrid environments. The vulnerability lets an unauthorized actor retrieve sensitive system information across affected releases from 1.0.0 through 1.0.3. Because the attack requires no authentication and no user interaction, exposure over any network-reachable Concert instance is straightforward.
The disclosed data itself does not modify system state or availability, but it materially advances an attacker's kill chain. Adversaries typically use such information to fingerprint software versions, map internal architecture, and identify secondary weaknesses to target.
Root Cause
The root cause is Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere [CWE-497]. IBM Concert returns system-level details through a channel accessible to unauthenticated clients. Neither IBM's advisory nor the NVD entry publishes the specific endpoint or field set, but the classification indicates internal system state is reachable without proper access boundaries.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based with low complexity. An adversary sends crafted requests to an exposed Concert endpoint and receives sensitive information in the response. No credentials, no privilege, and no victim interaction are required. Refer to the IBM Support Document for vendor-provided technical context.
No public exploit code, proof-of-concept, or CISA KEV listing exists for CVE-2024-52367 at time of writing.
Detection Methods for CVE-2024-52367
Indicators of Compromise
- Anomalous unauthenticated HTTP or HTTPS requests to IBM Concert API endpoints, particularly requests returning verbose responses.
- Repeated reconnaissance-style requests originating from a single external IP against Concert hosts.
- Concert application logs recording responses containing configuration, version, or environment identifiers to unauthenticated sessions.
Detection Strategies
- Inventory all IBM Concert deployments and confirm versions using package metadata or the Concert admin interface.
- Inspect reverse proxy and web application firewall logs for unauthenticated access to Concert paths returning large or descriptive payloads.
- Correlate outbound reconnaissance from compromised hosts with prior Concert access to detect information-disclosure-fed lateral movement.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Alert on any access to Concert management or diagnostic endpoints from outside trusted administrative networks.
- Enable verbose access logging on Concert and ingest logs into a centralized analytics platform for retention and query.
- Track vendor advisory updates at the IBM Support Document for revised fix versions.
How to Mitigate CVE-2024-52367
Immediate Actions Required
- Upgrade IBM Concert to the fixed release identified in the IBM Support Document.
- Restrict network access to Concert instances so only authorized administrative subnets can reach management endpoints.
- Review historical access logs for signs that sensitive system information was retrieved by unauthorized clients.
Patch Information
IBM has published remediation guidance for CVE-2024-52367 in its support advisory. Administrators should apply the vendor-supplied fix for versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.2.1, and 1.0.3 per the IBM Support Document. Validate the upgrade in a staging environment before rolling out to production Concert clusters.
Workarounds
- Place IBM Concert behind an authenticating reverse proxy that enforces access control before requests reach the application.
- Segment Concert deployments into isolated network zones with strict ingress filtering until patching is complete.
- Disable or block external exposure of any Concert diagnostic or informational endpoints that are not required for business operations.
