DescriptionNVD

IBM Robotic Process Automation Clients are vulnerable to proxy credentials being exposed in upgrade logs. IBM X-Force ID: 235422.

AnalysisAI

IBM Robotic Process Automation Clients are vulnerable to proxy credentials being exposed in upgrade logs. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability could allow attackers to obtain user credentials due to weak protection mechanisms.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Insufficiently Protected Credentials (CWE-522), which allows attackers to obtain user credentials due to weak protection mechanisms. IBM Robotic Process Automation Clients are vulnerable to proxy credentials being exposed in upgrade logs. IBM X-Force ID: 235422. Affected products include: Ibm Robotic Process Automation, Ibm Robotic Process Automation For Cloud Pak, Ibm Robotic Process Automation For Services.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Hash passwords with strong algorithms (bcrypt, argon2), encrypt credentials in transit and at rest, never log credentials.
