Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2019-4695 is an information disclosure issue in IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption 3.0.0.2. Locally stored web pages may be readable by another user on the same system. Business impact is limited confidentiality exposure, mainly on shared or multi-user hosts.
Executive priority
Treat as a contained medium-priority confidentiality issue. Prioritize remediation where GDE runs on shared administrative systems or systems handling sensitive encryption management data.
Technical view
The CVSS 3.0 vector is AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N with score 4.0. The issue is local, low-complexity, confidentiality-only disclosure. The source bundle lists no CWE and only identifies IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption 3.0.0.2 as affected.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to environments running IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption 3.0.0.2, especially systems where multiple local users can access the same host or stored web page artifacts.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. Evidence supports a local read scenario by another system user, not a remote network attack.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse. The record identifies the product, version, X-Force ID 171926, and CVSS vector, but does not provide CWE, exploit status, or detailed fix version in the supplied bundle.
Mitigation direction
- Identify any IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption 3.0.0.2 deployments.
- Review IBM's advisory for the official remediation or fixed release.
- Apply the vendor-supported fix where applicable.
- Limit local user access on affected systems until remediated.
- Review handling and retention of locally stored web pages.
Validation and detection
- Check asset inventory for IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption 3.0.0.2.
- Confirm whether affected hosts are shared by multiple local users.
- Verify IBM advisory remediation has been applied.
- After remediation, confirm local web page artifacts are not broadly readable.
