Sensitive-data decryption via weak cryptography
Published Feb 25, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Weak cryptography in IBM QRadar Advisor with Watson 1.1 through 2.5 allows remote attackers to decrypt sensitive app data. IBM has not disclosed which stored-data cipher, key handling path, or cryptographic operation provides inadequate encryption strength. Exploitation is unauthenticated over a network but requires high attack complexity, and the reported effect is disclosure without modification or outage.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=1.1
- Affected versionversion=2.5
