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.
CVE-2020-4851
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.
CVE-2020-4889
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.
CVE-2020-4755
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.
CVE-2020-4749
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.
CVE-2020-4748
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.
CVE-2020-4379
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 179158.
CVE-2020-4378
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 could allow a privileged authenticated user to perform unauthorized actions using a specially crated HTTP POST command. IBM X-Force ID: 179157.
CVE-2020-4358
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 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: 178762.
CVE-2020-4357
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information when a detailed technical error message is returned in the browser. This information could be used in further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 178761.
CVE-2020-4350
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 178424.
CVE-2020-4349
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.4.4 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 178423.
CVE-2019-4259
A security vulnerability has been identified in IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 with CES stack enabled that could allow sensitive data to be included with service snaps. IBM X-Force ID: 160011.
CVE-2018-1993
IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 where the use of Local Read Only Cache (LROC) is enabled may caused read operation on a file to return data from a different file. IBM X-Force ID: 154440.
CVE-2018-1723
IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1.0, 4.1.1.20, 4.2.0.0, 4.2.3.10, 5.0.0 and 5.0.1.2 could allow an unprivileged, authenticated user with access to a GPFS node to read arbitrary files available on this node. IBM X-Force ID: 147373.
CVE-2018-1431
A vulnerability in GSKit affects IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 that could allow a local attacker to obtain control of the Spectrum Scale daemon and to access and modify files in the Spectrum Scale file system, and possibly to obtain administrator privileges on the node. IBM X-Force ID: 139240.
