Security Bulletin
Summary
Security Identity Adapter data traffic to/from IGI and ISIM server is not
encrypted by default. Adapter installers have been updated to enable SSL by
default. The customer can choose during installation to disable SSL. Note that
keeping the SSL enablement option requires certificates to be imported.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2017-1362
DESCRIPTION: IBM Security Identity Adapters store user credentials in the
plain, which can be read by a local user. If the adapter SSL option is not
explicitly enabled during installation, the adapters transmit data, including
user credentials, to IGI or the ISIM Server in clear text.
CVSS Base Score: 6.2
