While a user account for the IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14 is being established, it may be configured to use SESSIONSECURITY=TRANSITIONAL. While in this mode, it may be susceptible to an offline dictionary attack. IBM X-Force ID: 226942.

IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14 could allow a remote attacker to gain details of the database, such as type and version, by sending a specially-crafted HTTP request. This information could then be used in future attacks. IBM X-Force ID: 226940.

An IBM Spectrum Protect storage agent could allow a remote attacker to perform a brute force attack by allowing unlimited attempts to login to the storage agent without locking the administrative ID. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using brute force techniques to gain unauthorized administrative access to both the IBM Spectrum Protect storage agent and the IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14 with which it communicates. IBM X-Force ID: 226326.

IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.14.0 dsmcad, dsmc, and dsmcsvc processes incorrectly handle certain read operations on TCP/IP sockets. This can result in a denial of service for IBM Spectrum Protect client operations. IBM X-Force ID: 225348.

IBM Spectrum Protect Client 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.14.0 stores user credentials in plain clear text which can be read by a local user. IBM X-Force ID: 225886.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Container Backup and Restore (10.1.5 through 10.1.10.2 for Kubernetes and 10.1.7 through 10.1.10.2 for Red Hat OpenShift) could allow a remote attacker to bypass IBM Spectrum Protect Plus role based access control restrictions, caused by improper disclosure of session information. By retrieving the logs of a container an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass login security of the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server and gain unauthorized access based on the permissions of the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus user to the vulnerable Spectrum Protect Plus server software. IBM X-Force ID: 225340.

IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Standard Edition 6.0.0.0 through 6.0.3.5 and 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.1.0 could disclose sensitive version information that could aid in future attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 211414.

IBM CloudPak for Multicloud Monitoring 2.0 and 2.3 has a few containers running in privileged mode which is vulnerable to host information leakage or destruction if unauthorized access to these containers could execute arbitrary commands. IBM X-Force ID: 211048.

IBM Security Guardium 11.4 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
