IBM BigFix Compliance 1.7 through 1.9.91 (TEMA SUAv1 SCA SCM) does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.This weakness might allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by using a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. The software might connect to a malicious host while believing it is a trusted host, or the software might be deceived into accepting spoofed data that appears to originate from a trusted host. IBM X-Force ID: 123675.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2017-1200 is a certificate validation weakness in IBM BigFix Compliance 1.7 through 1.9.91. In specific network conditions, an attacker could impersonate a trusted system through a man-in-the-middle position and cause the software to trust spoofed data. The published severity is low because exploitation is harder and the listed impact is limited to confidentiality.

Executive priority

Treat as a routine vulnerability management item, not an emergency. Prioritize remediation for internet-adjacent, untrusted-network, or compliance-sensitive deployments because spoofed trust relationships can undermine confidence in collected data.

Technical view

IBM BigFix Compliance TEMA SUAv1 SCA SCM does not validate, or incorrectly validates, certificates. The CVSS 3.0 vector is 3.7 low: network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction, unchanged scope, low confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to environments running IBM BigFix Compliance versions 1.7 through 1.9.91, especially where affected components communicate over networks an attacker could intercept or influence.

Exploitation context

The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. The described attack requires a man-in-the-middle opportunity and successful spoofing of a trusted entity.

Researcher notes

The source bundle provides the weakness class and CVSS vector but not detailed exploit mechanics or exact fixed versions. Do not assume broader IBM BigFix products are affected without vendor confirmation. The CVSS vector indicates official remediation exists, but the bundle does not name the target fixed release.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify whether IBM BigFix Compliance 1.7 through 1.9.91 is deployed.
  • Review IBM advisory ibm10737581 for official fix or upgrade guidance.
  • Apply IBM-recommended remediation after confirming version applicability.
  • Restrict affected component communications to trusted network paths where possible.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory BigFix Compliance versions and confirm whether TEMA SUAv1 SCA SCM is present.
  • Check vendor advisory and X-Force entry for affected-version and fix details.
  • Review network architecture for paths where MITM interception is plausible.
  • Confirm remediation status through change records and version evidence.
