Summary

IBM Guardium Activity Insights versions 10.6 and 11.0 have a vulnerability that arises from not setting the secure attribute on authorization tokens and session cookies. This oversight allows attackers to potentially intercept cookie values. By tricking users into clicking on an unsecured link embedded in a message or via a malicious site, attackers can capture the cookie data transmitted over the insecure connection. This poses significant risks, as the compromised cookies can lead to unauthorized access to user sessions and sensitive data.

Affected Version(s)
