IBM Storage Scale vulnerabilities

IBM Storage Scale System and IBM Storage Scale in the listed versions allow an attacker to leverage an undocumented flag to gain access to an unauthenticated path in the REST API.

IBM Storage Scale 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.9 and 6.0.1.0 could allow an authenticated attacker to access and manipulate filesets beyond their control due to improper authorization.

IBM Storage Scale 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.9 and 6.0.1.0 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system by sending a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files.

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.

IBM Storage Scale 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.8, and 6.0.0.0 through 6.0.1.0 Secrets may be disclosed in log files in IBM Storage Scale Management GUI The admin password is logged into the GUI log of IBM Storage Scale Systems Deploy and Upgrade from GUI. Secrets may be disclosed in information related to exceptions in IBM Storage Scale Management GUI.

IBM Storage Scale versions 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.8 and 6.0.0.0 through 6.0.1.0 contain a hardcoded token in the GUI source code, used for inter-node cluster communication and REST API authentication between GUIs.
