An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2019-4698 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2019-4698 is a high-severity vulnerability in IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption, published on 26 Aug 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-4698 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-4698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4698/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-4698","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8rgc-9vj6-g2jj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Guardium Data Encryption","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak default password policy in IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption allows attackers to compromise user accounts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"guardium_data_encryption","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"guardium_for_cloud_key_management","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/PR:N/I:N/AV:N/S:C/AC:L/UI:R/A:N/C:H/E:U/RC:C/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-521","name":"Weak Password Requirements"}],"description":"IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption (GDE) 3.0.0.2 does not require that users should have strong passwords by default, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.
