CVE-2022-22480

Information disclosure via encrypted-host data rebalancing

Published Oct 7, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Information disclosure in IBM QRadar SIEM 7.4 and 7.5 allows attackers to obtain data during encrypted-host rebalancing. IBM identifies the locus as the data-node rebalancing process but does not disclose the failing operation or which information crosses an authorization boundary. Reachability requires an adjacent-network position and a deployment using encrypted managed hosts during data-node rebalancing; no integrity or availability impact is reported.
