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.

The IBM Security Access Manager appliance includes configuration files that contain obfuscated plaintext-passwords which authenticated users can access.

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 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose highly sensitive information or consume all available memory resources.

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 stores sensitive information in URL parameters. This may lead to information disclosure if unauthorized parties have access to the URLs via server logs, referer header or browser history.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements which could allow the attacker to view information in the back-end database.

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 Single Sign On for Bluemix could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a XML external entity (XXE) error when processing XML data by the XML parser. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the system or cause a denial of service.

IBM Security Access Manager for Web 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.
