An IBM Spectrum Protect storage agent could allow a remote attacker to perform a brute force attack by allowing unlimited attempts to login to the storage agent without locking the administrative ID.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
