Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Security Guardium version 11.2
Description The issue is related to insufficient protection of registration data, allowing a local user to read user credentials stored in plain clear text. This could enable an attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information.
Recommendations For IBM Security Guardium version 11.2, consider restricting access to sensitive areas where credentials are stored until a proper fix is implemented. As a temporary workaround, limit local user privileges to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
