Sensitive information disclosure via detailed browser errors
Published Jul 15, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Information disclosure in IBM Security Verify Access Docker 10.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive data via browser errors. The browser returns a detailed technical error message containing sensitive information, but IBM has not identified the request handler or error-generation path that exposes it. High-privilege authentication is required, and the documented consequence is confidentiality loss that supports further attacks, without reported data modification or service interruption.
