Last modified

CVE-2024-49783 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. IBM OpenPages with Watson 8.3 and 9.0 could provide weaker than expected security in storage of encrypted data. If an authenticated remote attacker with access to the database or a local attacker with access to server files could extract the encrypted data, they could exploit this vulnerability to use additional cryptographic methods to possibly extract the encrypted data.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
