Description Preview
Rational Test Control Panel in IBM Rational Test Workbench and Rational Test Virtualization Server versions 8.0.0.x before 8.0.0.5, 8.0.1.x before 8.0.1.6, 8.5.0.x before 8.5.0.4, 8.5.1.x before 8.5.1.5, 8.6.0.x before 8.6.0.4, and 8.7.0.x before 8.7.0.2 uses the MD5 algorithm for password hashing. This vulnerability makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication via unspecified vectors.
Overview
This vulnerability affects IBM Rational Test Workbench and Rational Test Virtualization Server versions prior to the specified versions. By using the insecure MD5 algorithm for password hashing, attackers can potentially bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to the affected systems.
Remediation
To remediate this vulnerability, users of IBM Rational Test Workbench and Rational Test Virtualization Server should upgrade to version 8.0.0.5, 8.0.1.6, 8.5.0.4, 8.5.1.5, 8.6.0.4, or 8.7.0.2 or later. By updating to these versions, the systems will no longer use the vulnerable MD5 algorithm for password hashing, thereby mitigating the risk of unauthorized access.
