IBM InfoSphere Guardium 7.0, 8.0, 8.01, and 8.2 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials. IBM X-Force ID: 78294.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the account-creation panel in IBM InfoSphere Guardium 8.2 and earlier, when the CSRF filtering (aka csrf_status) feature is disabled, allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that create administrative accounts.
The datasource definition editor in IBM InfoSphere Guardium 8.2 and earlier, when the save-password setting is enabled, transmits cleartext database credentials, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.
