Summary

IBM QRadar versions 7.2 and 7.3 are susceptible to a vulnerability due to their default configuration not enforcing strong passwords for user accounts. This lack of default password strength requirements significantly increases the risk of unauthorized account access, allowing attackers to exploit weak passwords and potentially compromise sensitive information within the system. Organizations using these versions should implement strong password policies proactively to mitigate the risk of such vulnerabilities.
