HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
IBM Curam Social Program Management versions 7.0.9 through 7.0.10
Description
The issue concerns the use of the MD5 algorithm for hashing tokens in a single instance, which is considered less secure than the default SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm used throughout the application.
Recommendations
For versions 7.0.9 and 7.0.10, consider updating the hashing algorithm to SHA-256 to improve security.
As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the affected instance to minimize the risk of exploitation.
