CVE-2026-14375
MediumCVSS 5.9Summary
IBM Storage Scale 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.8, and 6.0.1.0 does not validate or improperly validates TLS certificate validation when communicating with remote cluster GUI interfaces, which could allow an attacker to inject forged JSON responses using man in the middle techniques.
Risk Assessment
A man-in-the-middle attacker could impersonate a remote cluster GUI interface and deliver forged data. This may lead to misconfiguration or actions taken based on manipulated responses.
Recommendation
Update IBM Storage Scale to a version containing the TLS certificate validation fix. Until then, restrict communication with cluster GUI interfaces to trusted, isolated networks.
