CVE-2019-4668

Local credential disclosure via unencrypted database storage

Published Apr 23, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Cleartext credential storage in IBM DevOps Deploy before 7.0.4.0 allows local users to read pattern-integration passwords. The pattern-integration subsystem writes its password value to the deployment database without the product's current encryption protection. Database access from the host is required, and the reported consequence is disclosure of the stored integration credential without integrity or availability impact.
