Sensitive-data decryption via weak cryptographic algorithms
Published Sep 30, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Weak cryptography in IBM Cloud Pak for Security 1.7.0.0 through 1.7.2.0 allows remote attackers to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM has not disclosed the affected cryptographic component, algorithm, key material, or input path. Exploitation requires network access, no authentication or user interaction, and high attack complexity; reported impact is limited to confidentiality.

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.
- Affected versionversion=1.7.0.0
- Affected versionversion=1.7.1.0
- Affected versionversion=1.7.2.0
- Affected versionversion=1.8.0.0
