SOAP Authentication Vulnerability in HP ArcSight Logger

CVE-2015-6029

Summary

The vulnerability in HP ArcSight Logger occurs due to insufficient access controls on the SOAP interface. This flaw enables remote attackers to conduct brute-force attempts to authenticate, potentially gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data and system functionalities. Organizations using earlier versions of the product are especially at risk, as the lack of limits on authentication attempts makes it easier for attackers to compromise security. It is crucial for users to upgrade to secure versions to mitigate this risk effectively.
