IBM QRadar Network Security 5.4.0 and 5.5.0 discloses sensitive information to unauthorized users which could be used to mount further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 174339.

IBM QRadar Network Security 5.4.0 and 5.5.0 contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data. IBM X-Force ID: 174337.

IBM QRadar Network Security 5.4 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: 128376.

IBM QRadar Network Security 5.4 supports interaction between multiple actors and allows those actors to negotiate which algorithm should be used as a protection mechanism such as encryption or authentication, but it does not select the strongest algorithm that is available to both parties. IBM X-Force ID: 128689.

IBM QRadar Network Security 5.4 is vulnerable to a XML External Entity Injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information or consume memory resources. IBM X-Force ID: 128377.
