IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.6 and 5.1.0 through 5.1.0.2 is potentially vulnerable to CSV Injection. A remote attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by improper validation of csv file contents. IBM X-Force ID: 199403.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.1.0.1 could allow a local attacker to bypass the filesystem audit logging mechanism when file audit logging is enabled. IBM X-Force ID: 199478.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.5 and 5.1.0 through 5.1.0.2 uses an inadequate account lockout setting that could allow a local user er to brute force Rest API account credentials. IBM X-Force ID: 190974.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.5 and 5.1.0 through 5.1.0.2 could allow a local user to poison log files which could impact support and development efforts. IBM X-Force ID: 190450.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.5 and 5.1.0 through 5.1.0.2 could allow a local user with a valid role to the REST API to cause a denial of service due to weak or absense of rate limiting. IBM X-Force ID: 190973.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.4 and 5.1.0 could allow a local user to poison log files which could impact support and development efforts. IBM X-Force ID: 190971.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.2 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 188517.

IBM Spectrum Scale V4.2.0.0 through V4.2.3.22 and V5.0.0.0 through V5.0.5 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a large number of RPC requests to the mmfsd daemon which would cause the service to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 181991.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.2 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 188595.

IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.2 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic. IBM X-Force ID: 188518.
