Description
These issues are caused due to unspecified errors when processing user-supplied data or requests, which could allow remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to data being transferred between clients and the Identity Manager (IDM) server.
A local or remote attacker can change the passwords of other user's accounts.

A remote attacker could conduct cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks.
A local or remote attacker can modify IDM system configuration data.
A local or remote attacker can submit arbitrary commands to the Admin Console and perform administrative actions (e.g. creating accounts).
A remote authenticated user could execute arbitrary code on the IDM system with gained escalated privileges.
Successful exploitation of these issues may require a valid user account.
