CVE-2025-25022

Unauthenticated password disclosure from configuration files

Published Jun 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Information disclosure in IBM QRadar Suite Software and IBM Cloud Pak for Security allows remote attackers to read sensitive configuration files. Affected releases store passwords in configuration files, but IBM does not identify the files or the operation that exposes them. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and no authentication; IBM reports highly sensitive data disclosure without identifying further effects.
