CVSS 3.1
5.3
MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
IBM Security Verify Information Queue versions 1.0.6 through 1.0.7
Description:
The issue allows user credentials to be sent in plain clear text, which can be read by an authenticated user using man-in-the-middle techniques.
Recommendations:
For versions 1.0.6 and 1.0.7, consider implementing encryption for user credentials to prevent them from being read in plain text. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive information and monitor for any suspicious activity that could indicate a man-in-the-middle attack.
