Credential disclosure via base64-obfuscated Kubernetes secrets
Published Feb 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Hard-coded credentials in IBM Storage Defender Data Resiliency Service 2.0.0 allow local users to read Kubernetes secrets. The Connection Manager OVA stores Kubernetes secrets in its configuration using reversible base64 obfuscation instead of encryption. Root access to the on-premises environment is required, and the documented consequence is disclosure of the stored credentials.
