The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) default authentication protocol is vulnerable to a brute force attack due to disclosing too much information during authentication. An attacker could gain user or administrative access to the TSM server. IBM X-Force ID: 118750.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local attacker to launch a symlink attack. IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-archive Client creates temporary files insecurely. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link from a temporary file to various files on the system, which could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 125163.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) Server uses weak encryption for the password. A database administrator may be able to decrypt the IBM Spectrum protect client or administrator password which can result in information disclosure or a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 126247.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) disclosed unencrypted login credentials to Vmware vCenter in the application trace output which could be obtained by a local user. IBM X-Force ID: 126875.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) clients/agents store password information in the Windows Registry in a manner which can be compromised. IBM X-Force ID: 118790.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5, 6.1-6.4, and 7.1 stores password information in a log file that could be read by a local user when a set password command is issued. IBM X-Force ID: 118472.
Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center could allow a local user to take over a previously logged in user due to session expiration not being enforced.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center could allow an authenticated attacker to enable or disable the application's REST API, which may let the attacker violate security policy.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center 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 Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center 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.
