CVE-2021-20401

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM QRadar SIEM versions 7.3 through 7.4

Description: The issue concerns hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, used by IBM QRadar SIEM for inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data.

Recommendations: For versions 7.3 and 7.4, consider changing the hard-coded credentials to unique, complex passwords or keys to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the affected system to minimize the risk of unauthorized access until a more permanent solution is available.
