CVE-2020-26515: An insufficiently protected credentials issue was discovered in Intland codeBeamer ALM 10.x through 10.1.SP4.

An insufficiently protected credentials issue was discovered in Intland codeBeamer ALM 10.x through 10.1.SP4. The remember-me cookie (CB_LOGIN) issued by the application contains the encrypted user's credentials. However, due to a bug in the application code, those credentials are encrypted using a NULL encryption key.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

codeBeamer ALM issued a remember-me cookie that contained encrypted user credentials, but the encryption key was NULL. Anyone who obtained that cookie could potentially expose saved credentials. The public bundle does not provide CVSS, a named patch version, or evidence of active exploitation.

Executive priority

Prioritize if codeBeamer is internet-facing, used for regulated engineering workflows, or stores sensitive project data. The lack of severity scoring lowers precision, not concern; stored credentials in weak cookies can create account takeover and downstream intellectual property risk.

Technical view

CVE-2020-26515 affects Intland codeBeamer ALM 10.x through 10.1.SP4. The CB_LOGIN remember-me cookie stores encrypted credentials, but application code encrypts them with a NULL key. This weakens credential confidentiality for users who use persistent login. No CWE, CVSS vector, or exploit-in-the-wild evidence is provided.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to deployments of Intland codeBeamer ALM 10.x through 10.1.SP4 where remember-me login cookies are issued or retained. Risk depends on cookie access paths such as endpoint compromise, browser theft, logs, or unsafe transport/storage.

Exploitation context

The source bundle describes credential exposure through weakly protected remember-me cookies, but does not cite public exploitation, CISA KEV inclusion, exploit code, or confirmed attacks. Treat exploitation status as unproven from the provided evidence.

Researcher notes

The available record is concise and leaves gaps: no CVSS, CWE, fix version, or exploit status. Focus validation on affected version confirmation, CB_LOGIN cookie issuance, and whether cookie material could have been captured. Avoid assuming all codeBeamer versions are affected beyond 10.x through 10.1.SP4.

Mitigation direction

  • Check vendor guidance for a fixed release or supported workaround.
  • Upgrade affected codeBeamer deployments when a vendor-fixed version is confirmed.
  • If supported, disable remember-me login until vendor guidance confirms safety.
  • Expire existing CB_LOGIN cookies after remediation or configuration changes.
  • Require password resets for accounts with suspected cookie exposure.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory codeBeamer ALM versions and identify 10.x through 10.1.SP4 systems.
  • Confirm whether the application issues CB_LOGIN remember-me cookies.
  • Review access logs and telemetry for suspicious account use.
  • Check whether cookies were exposed through logs, proxies, or compromised endpoints.
  • Verify vendor documentation before declaring a version remediated.
