CVE-2024-35117Network attack vector

Password disclosure via cleartext UI API tracing

Published Dec 11, 2024 · Updated Jan 27, 2025

Cleartext storage in IBM OpenPages 9.0 allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive password-reset data from UI API trace logs. When UI API tracing is enabled, an administrator's native-authentication password reset writes the sensitive value in cleartext to system tracing log files. Exposure requires UI API tracing, OpenPages-managed passwords, an administrator-performed reset, and privileged access to the resulting logs.
