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-2026-12628 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Storage 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-2026-12628/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12628/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-12628","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12628/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-12628","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5vh7-hcv2-h9gx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Storage Protect","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Hardcoded credentials in IBM Storage Protect allow remote attackers to bypass authentication and access protected system resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"storage_protect","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"IBM Storage Protect Client 8.1.0.0 through 8.2.1.0 and IBM Storage Protect Snapshot For Windows 8.1.0.0 through 8.2.1.0 could allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication due to the use of a hardcoded credential in the FlashCopy Manager (FCM) authentication mechanism. The application contains a static credential embedded in multiple authentication code paths, and does not properly validate authentication responses, which may allow an unauthenticated attacker to establish a trusted session and access protected services. This vulnerability affects client components across multiple versions and may allow an attacker to impersonate legitimate clients, potentially leading to unauthorized access to system resources.","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":"Hardcoded credential in the IBM Storage Protect Snapshot For Windows leads to unauthorized access to system","id":"CVE-2026-12628","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"PL011 UART error interrupts never cleared, enabling an external-peer interrupt-storm denial of service","id":"CVE-2026-12629"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Fortra's Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) autoregistration stack buffer overflow vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-12627"},"products":["Storage Protect Client","Storage Protect Snapshot For Windows"],"published":"2026-06-22","related":[{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"IBM Spectrum Protect code execution","id":"CVE-2023-35897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-06"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"IBM Storage Protect Client is vulnerable to Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-13473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"IBM Storage Protect for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware information disclosure","id":"CVE-2024-38320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-27"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"IBM Storage Protect information disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-40368","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-20"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-25","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Hardcoded credentials in IBM Storage Protect allow remote attackers to bypass authentication and access protected system resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12628/"}
