Time to Patch Your IBM Storage – be4sec

CVE-2025-0159 and CVE-2025-0160 are two critical vulnerabilities affecting IBM Storage Virtualize products.

While CVE-2025-0159 enables authentication bypass through manipulated HTTP requests to the same endpoint, exploiting improper session token validation, CVE-2025-0160 allows unauthenticated remote Java code execution via the RPCAdapter service due to improper input validation.

CVE-2025-0159: Authentication Bypass

IBM Corp. has provided the following description: IBM FlashSystems could allow a remote attacker to bypass RPCAdapter endpoint authentication by sending a specifically crafted HTTP request.

CVSS 3.1: 9.1 ( Critical)
Affected Products: IBM Storage Virtualize v8.5.1.0, v8.7.1.0, v8.5.0.0-v8.5.0.13, v8.6.1.0, v8.5.4.0, v8.5.3.0-v8.5.3.1, v8.7.2.0-v8.7.2.1, v8.5.2.0-8.5.2.3, v8.6.3.0, v8.6.2.0-v8.6.2.1, v8.6.0.0-v8.6.0.5, v8.7.0.0-v8.7.0.2

The company strongly recommends applying updates immediately, as both vulnerabilities require no user interaction for exploitation. Administrators should:

  1. Verify their system’s software version
  2. Download patches from IBM’s Fix Central portal
  3. Test updates in staging environments
  4. Deploy fixes during maintenance windows

CVE-2025-0160: Remote Java Code Execution

IBM Corp. has provided the following description: IBM FlashSystems could allow a remote attacker with access to the system to execute arbitrary Java code due to improper restrictions in the RPCAdapter service.
