CVE-2022-43851Network attack vector

Sensitive information decryption via weak cryptography

Published Apr 14, 2025 · Updated Aug 15, 2025

Weak cryptography in IBM Aspera Console 3.4.0 through 3.4.4 allows remote attackers to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM has not disclosed the affected cryptographic component, algorithm, protected data, or operation that applies the weaker-than-expected algorithm. Network access requires no privileges or user interaction, but exploitation has high complexity and is limited to confidentiality loss.
