The Identity and Access Management (IAM) services (IBM Cloud Private 3.1.0) do not use a secure channel, such as SSL, to exchange information only when accessed internally from within the cluster. It could be possible for an attacker with access to network traffic to sniff packets from the connection and uncover data. IBM X-Force ID: 150903

Security readout for executives and security teams

IBM Cloud Private 3.1.0 could send IAM information over an unsecured internal cluster channel. An attacker who already has access to cluster network traffic could sniff packets and expose sensitive data. The issue is limited to internal cluster access and requires privileged/local conditions, but IAM data sensitivity makes it operationally important. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running IBM Cloud Private 3.1.0 with attackers or compromised workloads able to observe internal cluster traffic. Public internet exposure is not indicated by the source bundle. Treat as a moderate-priority legacy platform risk. It is not presented as actively exploited, but it concerns IAM confidentiality inside the cluster. Prioritize confirmation, vendor-guided remediation, and network visibility reduction for any remaining IBM Cloud Private 3.1.0 environments. Mitigation focus: Review IBM advisory ibm10739845 for official remediation guidance.; Identify and prioritize any IBM Cloud Private 3.1.0 clusters.; Limit who and what can observe internal cluster network traffic..
