What is CVE-2020-4157?

IBM QRadar Network Security versions 5.4.0 and 5.5.0 are affected by a vulnerability involving hard-coded credentials. This security issue arises from the inclusion of static passwords or cryptographic keys within the software, which are utilized for inbound authentication, establishing outbound communications with external components, or the encryption of sensitive internal data. Such practices can potentially expose sensitive information and allow unauthorized access to the system, posing significant risks to the network's overall security.
