CVE-2013-3993 affects IBM InfoSphere BigInsights before version 2.1.0.3. According to the provided content, the product allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended file and directory restrictions, or to access untrusted data or code, by supplying crafted parameters to unspecified API calls. Based on that description, the flaw is consistent with improper input validation in request parameters used by API functionality that should enforce file-system or resource access boundaries.
