Summary

IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) versions prior to 1.3.2.3 are susceptible to a vulnerability where LDAP credentials are stored in cleartext. This design flaw does not advise the use of a less privileged LDAP account, potentially enabling attackers with root access on a client machine to retrieve sensitive information from the server. Proper measures to secure authentication data in storage are crucial to prevent unauthorized access.
