An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-40234 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. 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-2022-40234/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40234/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40234","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40234/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40234","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rp88-5vg5-8wx2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can obtain private key information if the generated certificate file is shared, compromising TLS security in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"spectrum_protect_plus","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/UI:N/S:U/I:N/A:N/AC:H/PR:N/C:H/RC:C/E:U/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"}],"description":"Versions of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus prior to 10.1.12 (excluding 10.1.12) include the private key information for a certificate inside the generated .crt file when uploading a TLS certificate to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.
