Vulnerability

Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to obtain sensitive information that could be used in further attacks against the system. The confidentiality impact is low, as per CVSS score 2.7.
Mitigation
IBM released version 10.8 to address this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to IBM Security Secret Server 10.8 or later [1]. No workarounds are available.
