DESCRIPTION:
A security issue and a vulnerability have been reported in IBM
Infosphere Guardium, which can be exploited by malicious users to
disclose certain sensitive information and by malicious people to
conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create an administrative
account if a logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web
site.

2) The application stores database credentials in plain-text, which
can be exploited to disclose the credentials via the datasource
definition editor.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that "save
password" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 8.2 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Enable CSRF filtering and apply patch.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Positive Technologies.
