Overview
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2.4 contains an improper input validation flaw that allows a remote authenticated attacker to access sensitive information. This vulnerability requires prior authentication, limiting its exposure to users with valid credentials within the system.
Description
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2.4 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper input validation.
Impact
The primary impact is on confidentiality, as sensitive data may be exposed to authenticated users. Integrity and availability are not directly affected by this specific flaw. The risk is limited to environments where unauthorized users have gained valid access to the Guardium interface.
Remediation
Apply the latest security patch or update to a version of IBM Guardium Data Protection that addresses this vulnerability. Review user access controls to ensure only necessary personnel have authenticated access to the system. Monitor logs for unusual data access patterns from authenticated accounts.
Risk context
The CVSS v3 score of 3.1 indicates a low severity risk. The requirement for authentication further reduces the likelihood of exploitation in typical threat scenarios. No EPSS score is available, but the low base score suggests a lower priority for immediate patching compared to critical vulnerabilities.
