IBM RPA <21.0.0-21.0.7.19,23.0.0-23.0.19: Remote Crypto-Analytic Data Exposure
CVE-2024-51456 Published on January 12, 2025
IBM Robotic Process Automation information disclosure
IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.0 through 21.0.7.19 and 23.0.0 through 23.0.19 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive data that may be exposed through certain crypto-analytic attacks.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2024-51456 is exploitable with network access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is consided to have a high level of attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a high impact on confidentiality, with no impact on integrity and availability.
Weakness Type
Use of RSA Algorithm without OAEP
The software uses the RSA algorithm but does not incorporate Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP), which might weaken the encryption. Padding schemes are often used with cryptographic algorithms to make the plaintext less predictable and complicate attack efforts. The OAEP scheme is often used with RSA to nullify the impact of predictable common text.
