CVE-2016-5953
When a user is unable to view a certain view due to not being allowed permissions, the website responds with an error page where the session identifier is encoded as Base64 in the URL.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
IBM Sterling Order Management transmits the session identifier within the URL. When a user is unable to view a certain view due to not being allowed permissions, the website responds with an error page where the session identifier is encoded as Base64 in the URL.
