CVSS 3.1
7.5
High
MetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM Security Guardium versions 10 through 10.5
Description: The software uses a one-way cryptographic hash against an input, such as a password, but it does not use a salt as part of the input, which is a security best practice to prevent reversibility.
Recommendations: For IBM Security Guardium versions 10 through 10.5, consider implementing an additional security measure, such as using a salt value in conjunction with the one-way cryptographic hash function to enhance password security. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
