SB2022112253 - Session management vulnerability in IBM DataPower Gateway

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.

1) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40228)

CWE-ID: CWE-613 - Insufficient Session Expiration

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way password change is handled within IBM DataPower Gateway. If a user password is changed, IBM DataPower Gateway does not immediately invalidate existing active sessions that were created with the old password. As a result, session created using a compromised password could continue to operate after the password has been changed until the session expires.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
