CVE-2017-1601
IBM Security Guardium 10.0, 10.0.1, and 10.1 through 10.1.4 Database Activity Monitor does not require that users should have strong passwords by default, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
