Multiple XML external entity (XXE) vulnerabilities in the (1) CCRC WAN Server / CM Server, (2) Perl CC/CQ integration trigger scripts, (3) CMAPI Java interface, (4) ClearCase remote client, and (5) CMI and OSLC-based ClearQuest integrations components in IBM Rational ClearCase 7.1.0.x, 7.1.1.x, 7.1.2 through 7.1.2.13, 8.0 through 8.0.0.10, and 8.0.1 through 8.0.1.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or access other servers via crafted XML data. IBM X-Force ID: 92263.
This vulnerability carries a CRITICAL severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.1, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from ibm organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2018, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For ibm's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
