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-2024-40684 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis. 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-2024-40684/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40684/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40684","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40684/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40684","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4r8h-x6h9-22vx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Log Analysis","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak password policy and inadequate account lockout in IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis allow attackers to compromise user accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"operations_analytics_log_analysis","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-521","name":"Weak Password Requirements"}],"description":"IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis 1.3.5.0, 1.3.5.1, 1.3.5.2, 1.3.5.3, 1.3.6.0, 1.3.6.1, 1.3.7.0, 1.3.7.1, 1.3.7.2, and 1.3.8.0, 1.3.8.1, 1.3.8.2, 1.3.8.3, 1.3.8.4 IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis does not require that users should have strong passwords by default, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis is affected by Weak Password Policy and Inadequate Account Lockout Mechanism","id":"CVE-2024-40684","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis is affected by CSRF Token Replay Attack","id":"CVE-2024-40685"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Operations Analytics - Log Analysis","id":"CVE-2024-40683"},"products":["Operations Analytics - Log Analysis"],"published":"2026-05-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Operations Analytics - Log Analysis","id":"CVE-2026-7365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-27","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Weak password policy and inadequate account lockout in IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis allow attackers to compromise user accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40684/"}
