CVE-2013-0523: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2013-0523: IBM WebSphere Commerce Enterprise 5.6.x through 5.6.1.5, 6.0.x through 6.0.0.11, and 7.0.x through 7.0.0.7...

IBM WebSphere Commerce Enterprise 5.6.x through 5.6.1.5, 6.0.x through 6.0.0.11, and 7.0.x through 7.0.0.7 does not use a suitable encryption algorithm for storefront web requests, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a padding oracle attack that targets certain UTF-8 processing of the krypto parameter, and leverages unspecified browser access or traffic-log access.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-0523 affects legacy IBM WebSphere Commerce Enterprise storefronts. The product used unsuitable encryption for storefront web requests, which could let a remote attacker recover sensitive information through a padding oracle weakness involving the krypto parameter. The sources do not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely for organizations still running affected IBM WebSphere Commerce Enterprise versions on public storefronts or retaining request logs containing the vulnerable krypto parameter. Modern or upgraded deployments are not shown as affected in the provided bundle. High priority only if legacy IBM WebSphere Commerce Enterprise remains in use. The risk is sensitive data exposure from public commerce traffic, but evidence of current exploitation is absent in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Identify all IBM WebSphere Commerce Enterprise versions in production and archives.; Review IBM JR46386 and related IBM guidance for applicable fixes or upgrades.; Prioritize remediation for internet-facing storefronts handling customer or payment-adjacent data..
