Security Bulletin: Insufficient command validation in IBM Security Information Queue (CVE-2020-4282)

Summary

IBM Security Information Queue (ISIQ) does not implement encoding or escaping of command requests that originate in the web UI. For example, it would be possible to intercept a product configuration request, and replace the product name with illegal characters. As of v1.0.6, ISIQ performs back-end validation to ensure that commands have not been tampered with.
