Summary
IBM QRadar SIEM 7.5 through 7.5.0 UP14 stores user credentials in configuration files in source control. An authenticated user can read these credentials.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated user may obtain credentials of other accounts, leading to privilege escalation and further compromise. Risk increases if the repository is widely accessible.
Recommendation
Remove credentials from configuration files and the repository and replace them with a secure secrets management solution. Update to a patched version and rotate exposed passwords.
