CVE-2024-38324Network attack vector

Information disclosure via unchecked registration server name

Published Sep 24, 2024 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Improper certificate validation in IBM Storage Defender 2.0.0 through 2.0.7 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to read sensitive data. The on-premises defender-sensor-cmd CLI fails to match the registration or unregistration server name to the presented certificate. Exploitation requires interception of those network operations; the reported consequence is confidential-data disclosure without integrity or availability impact.
