CVE-2021-3417

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: LXCO versions prior to 1.2.2

Description: An internal product security audit discovered that credentials for Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA), if added as a Resource Manager, are encoded then written to an internal LXCO log file each time a session is established with LXCA. Affected logs are captured in the First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) service log, which is only generated when requested by a privileged LXCO user and is only accessible to the privileged LXCO user that requested the file.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.2.2, update to version 1.2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the FFDC service log to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, privileged LXCO users should be cautious when requesting the FFDC service log to avoid potential exposure of encoded credentials.
