CVE-2023-50951Network attack vector

Sensitive authorization data exposure through invalid-attempt logging

Published Feb 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Sensitive data logging in IBM QRadar Suite and Cloud Pak for Security allows remote authenticated users to obtain authorization data. Invalid authorization attempts cause sensitive information to be written to logs, but IBM has not disclosed the affected endpoint, log fields, or retrieval path. Exploitation requires authentication and a specially crafted HTTP request; the reported consequence is limited to obtaining sensitive information.
