CVE-2020-4327Network attack vector

Sensitive information disclosure via detailed error messages

Published Jun 24, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Information disclosure in IBM Security Secret Server 10.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via detailed browser error messages. The web application returns detailed technical errors that expose implementation or system data instead of suppressing diagnostic content. Exploitation requires reaching a request that triggers the error response; the documented consequence is information exposure that can aid further attacks, with no reported modification or service interruption.
