CVE-2013-5461
IBM Endpoint Manager for Remote Control 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 and Tivoli Remote Control 5.1.2 store multiple hashes of partial passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to decrypt passwords by leveraging access to the hashes.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
