CVE-2025-1722
Published: 20 January 2026
Summary
CVE-2025-1722 is a medium-severity Heap Inspection (CWE-244) vulnerability in Ibm Concert. Its CVSS base score is 5.9 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data from Local System (T1005); ranked at the 21.4th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SC-4 (Information in Shared System Resources) and SI-16 (Memory Protection).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-1722 is a vulnerability in IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 2.1.0 that stems from improper clearing of heap memory before release, as classified under CWE-244. This flaw could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from allocated memory. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9, reflecting network accessibility, high attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact.
A remote attacker without privileges can exploit this over the network, though it requires high complexity to trigger the improper memory clearing. Successful exploitation enables disclosure of sensitive data lingering in heap memory, potentially exposing confidential information depending on what was previously stored there.
IBM's security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7257006 provides details on mitigation, including recommended patches or workarounds for affected Concert versions. Security practitioners should review this page promptly for version-specific remediation steps.

Directly requires memory protection mechanisms that prevent unauthorized disclosure of residual sensitive data in heap allocations, exactly addressing the CWE-244 flaw.
Requires the system to prevent unintended information transfer through shared resources such as heap memory by ensuring prior contents are cleared before reallocation.
Enforces process isolation boundaries that limit the scope of residual heap data an attacker can reach after exploiting the memory-clearing defect.
