Sensitive-information disclosure via unlimited brute-force attempts
Published Jul 12, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Information disclosure in IBM Guardium Data Encryption 3.0.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to brute-force sensitive information. The affected interaction does not limit repeated attempts; IBM has not identified the specific interface, operation, or secret involved. Exploitation requires high privileges and a network path, with no reported ability to modify data or interrupt service.
