Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12399)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output within the Apache Kafka Connect REST API tasks endpoint. A remote authenticated user can issue a request to the same Connect cluster to obtain the connector's task configurations and the response will contain the plaintext secret.


2) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4175)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to IBM Security Guardium Insights fails to properly enable HTTP Strict Transport Security. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information using man in the middle techniques.


3) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4167)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in when processing authentication requests. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.


4) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4603)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to IBM Security Guardium Insights performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required. A remote user can trigger the vulnerability to escalate privileges on the system.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4171)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


6) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4169)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to IBM Security Guardium Insights uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use this vulnerability to decrypt highly sensitive information.


7) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4174)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to IBM Security Guardium Insights uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use this vulnerability to decrypt highly sensitive information.


8) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4172)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to IBM Security Guardium Insights stores sensitive information in URL parameters. A remote unauthenticated attacker with access to the URLs via server logs, referrer header or browser history can use this vulnerability to decrypt highly sensitive information.
