CVE-2022-22490Network attack vector

Azure bot credential disclosure to privileged users

Published Aug 10, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Credential exposure in IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.0 through 21.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to read Azure bot credentials. IBM identifies the exposed data as sensitive Azure bot credential information but has not published the endpoint, component, or access-control error that returns it. Exploitation requires high-privilege network access; the documented consequence is credential disclosure, with no integrity or availability impact.
