CVE-2023-33842

Sensitive-data decryption via exposed SSL private key

Published Jun 22, 2023 · Updated Dec 4, 2024

Information disclosure in IBM SPSS Modeler 17.0, 18.0, 18.2.2, 18.3, 18.4, and 18.5 on Windows allows local users to decrypt sensitive data. The Windows deployment gives end users access to the server SSL private key instead of restricting that secret to the server process. Local access to the key is required; exposure is limited to confidentiality, with no reported ability to modify data or interrupt service.
