CVE-2022-22424

Local TLS private-key disclosure via file permissions

Published Jul 20, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Information disclosure in IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 allows local users to read sensitive data from its TLS key file. The affected TLS private-key file is assigned permissions that expose its contents beyond the intended account boundary; IBM has not identified the file path or permission mode. Local access to the Linux-based appliance is required, and exposure is limited to confidentiality of the key material, with no reported write or service-interruption capability.
