IBM Spectrum Protect Client and IBM Storage Protect for Virtual Environments 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.19.0 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code on the system using a specially crafted file, caused by a DLL hijacking flaw. IBM X-Force ID: 259246.

IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.17.0 could allow a local user to cause a denial of service due to due to improper time-of-check to time-of-use functionality. IBM X-Force ID: 256012.

IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive Client 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.17.2 may allow a local user to escalate their privileges due to improper access controls. IBM X-Force ID: 251767.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Server 10.1.13, under specific configurations, could allow an elevated user to obtain SMB credentials that may be used to access vSnap data stores. IBM X-Force ID: 249325.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0 through 10.1.12 discloses sensitive information due to unencrypted data being used in the communication flow between Spectrum Protect Plus vSnap and its agents. An attacker could obtain information using main in the middle techniques. IBM X-Force ID: 182106.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.6 through 10.1.11 Microsoft File Systems restore operation can download any file on the target machine by manipulating the URL with a directory traversal attack. This results in the restore operation gaining access to files which the operator should not have access to. IBM X-Force ID: 235873.

Versions of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus prior to 10.1.12 (excluding 10.1.12) include the private key information for a certificate inside the generated .crt file when uploading a TLS certificate to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. If this generated .crt file is shared, an attacker can obtain the private key information for the uploaded certificate. IBM X-Force ID: 235718.

While a user account for the IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14 is being established, it may be configured to use SESSIONSECURITY=TRANSITIONAL. While in this mode, it may be susceptible to an offline dictionary attack. IBM X-Force ID: 226942.

IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14 could allow a remote attacker to gain details of the database, such as type and version, by sending a specially-crafted HTTP request. This information could then be used in future attacks. IBM X-Force ID: 226940.

An IBM Spectrum Protect storage agent could allow a remote attacker to perform a brute force attack by allowing unlimited attempts to login to the storage agent without locking the administrative ID. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using brute force techniques to gain unauthorized administrative access to both the IBM Spectrum Protect storage agent and the IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14 with which it communicates. IBM X-Force ID: 226326.

IBM Spectrum Protect Client 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.14.0 stores user credentials in plain clear text which can be read by a local user. IBM X-Force ID: 225886.

IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.14.0 dsmcad, dsmc, and dsmcsvc processes incorrectly handle certain read operations on TCP/IP sockets. This can result in a denial of service for IBM Spectrum Protect client operations. IBM X-Force ID: 225348.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Container Backup and Restore (10.1.5 through 10.1.10.2 for Kubernetes and 10.1.7 through 10.1.10.2 for Red Hat OpenShift) could allow a remote attacker to bypass IBM Spectrum Protect Plus role based access control restrictions, caused by improper disclosure of session information. By retrieving the logs of a container an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass login security of the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server and gain unauthorized access based on the permissions of the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus user to the vulnerable Spectrum Protect Plus server software. IBM X-Force ID: 225340.

In some cases, an unsuccessful attempt to log into IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.14.000 does not cause the administrator's invalid sign-on count to be incremented on the IBM Spectrum Protect Server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using brute force techniques to gain unauthorized administrative access to the IBM Spectrum Protect Server. IBM X-Force ID: 226325.

Credentials are printed in clear text in the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0.0 through 10.1.9.3 virgo log file in certain cases. Credentials could be the remote vSnap, offload targets, or VADP credentials depending on the operation performed. Credentials that are using API key or certificate are not printed. IBM X-Force ID: 222231.

IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.12 and 8.1.13 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by plain text user account passwords potentially being stored in the browser's application command history. By accessing browser history, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain other user accounts' passwords. IBM X-Force ID: 226322.

The IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.14.000 server could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper enforcement of access controls. By signing in, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass security and gain unauthorized administrator or node access to the vulnerable server.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0.0 through 10.1.9.2 and IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management 2.2.0.0 through 2.2.14.3 do not limit the length of a connection which could allow for a Slowloris HTTP denial of service attack to take place. This can cause the Admin Console to become unresponsive. IBM X-Force ID: 220485.

IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.13.xxx is vulnerable to reverse tabnabbing where it could allow a page linked to from within Operations Center to rewrite it. An administrator could enter a link to a malicious URL that another administrator could then click. Once clicked, that malicious URL could then rewrite the original page with a phishing page. IBM X-Force ID: 220139.

IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.0.000 through 8.1.13.xxx is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts. IBM X-Force ID: 220048.
