Technical details

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the BMC Control-M/MFT API management endpoint. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to query a specific endpoint and receive both an API identifier and its corresponding secret value in plain text. This is classified as improper access control (CWE-284). With these credentials, the attacker can authenticate as a privileged user to the Control-M Automation API, enabling them to invoke administrative operations. BMC has released patch PACTV.9.0.21.308 for Control-M/Server to address this and related issues.
