Sensitive-data decryption via weak cryptographic algorithms
Published Jan 7, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Weak cryptography in IBM Emptoris Strategic Supply Management 10.1.3 allows remote attackers to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM has not published the affected algorithm, protocol, key material, or code locus, so the precise cryptographic failure is undisclosed. Exploitation requires network access and high attack complexity but no authentication or user interaction, and the reported consequence is confidentiality loss without data modification or service interruption.

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.
