IBM Security Access Manager for Web 7.0.0, 8.0.0, and 9.0.0 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM Reference #: 1996868.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web 7.0.0, 8.0.0, and 9.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper content validation. By persuading a victim to open specially-crafted content, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass validation and load a page with malicious content.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly enable HTTP Strict Transport Security. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information using man in the middle techniques.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web could allow an unauthenticated user to gain access to sensitive information by entering invalid file names.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web could allow an authenticated user to gain access to highly sensitive information due to incorrect file permissions.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web could allow an authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information from error message using a specially crafted HTTP request.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information due to security misconfigurations.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web processes patches, image backups and other updates without sufficiently verifying the origin and integrity of the code, which could allow an authenticated attacker to load malicious code.

The SSH implementation on IBM Security Access Manager for Web appliances 7.0 before 7.0.0 FP19, 8.0 before 8.0.1.3 IF3, and 9.0 before 9.0.0.0 IF1 does not properly restrict the set of MAC algorithms, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web 7.0 before 7.0.0 IF21, 8.0 before 8.0.1.3 IF4, and 9.0 before 9.0.0.1 IF1 does not have a lockout mechanism for invalid login attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web 7.0.0 before FP19 and 8.0 before 8.0.1.3 IF3, and Security Access Manager 9.0 before 9.0.0.0 IF1, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands by leveraging Local Management Interface (LMI) access.
