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-2023-43042 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Storage Virtualize. 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-2023-43042/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43042/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43042","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43042/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43042","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pjv4-q49w-6vf2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Storage Virtualize","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain privileged access to IBM Storage Virtualize systems using default passwords, leading to potential data exposure and control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"storage_virtualize","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1393","name":"Use of Default Password"}],"description":"IBM SAN Volume Controller, IBM Storwize, IBM FlashSystem and IBM Storage Virtualize 8.3 products use default passwords for a privileged user.
