CVE-2022-32753

Sensitive-information decryption via weak cryptographic algorithms

Published Mar 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Inadequate encryption in IBM Security Verify Directory 10.0.0 allows attackers to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM identifies weaker-than-expected cryptographic algorithms but does not disclose the affected component, algorithm, key material, or data path. Exploitation requires an adjacent-network position and high privileges; the documented consequence is confidentiality loss without integrity or availability impact.
