CVE-2017-1270: IBM Security Guardium 10.0 does not renew a session variable after a successful authentication which could...

Security readout for executives and security teams

IBM Security Guardium 10.x had a session fixation weakness: after login, a session value was not renewed. If an attacker could get a user to use a known cookie, that session could potentially be hijacked after authentication. Exposure is limited to organizations running the listed IBM Security Guardium versions. Risk depends on whether users authenticate through reachable Guardium interfaces and whether attackers can influence or observe session cookies. Prioritize remediation if Guardium 10.x is still deployed, because Guardium protects sensitive database security workflows. Urgency is lower where affected versions are retired or access is tightly restricted. Mitigation focus: Identify all IBM Security Guardium instances and their exact versions.; Review IBM advisory swg22010439 for fixed versions or interim guidance.; Apply IBM-provided updates or configuration guidance where applicable..
