It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-22478 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Spectrum Protect Client. 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-2022-22478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-22478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22478/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-22478","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mvjj-gmrm-r88p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Protect Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can read user credentials stored in plain text by the IBM Spectrum Protect Client, leading to potential account compromise.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"spectrum_protect_client","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/C:H/I:N/PR:N/AV:L/AC:L/UI:N/S:U/A:N/RL:O/RC:C/E:U","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-312","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"IBM Spectrum Protect Client 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.14.0 stores user credentials in plain clear text which can be read by a local user.
