MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.22%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2.2 is affected by a sensitive information exposure vulnerability. During SECRET and API_KEY rotation processing, sensitive credential material is logged at INFO level by the edge-controller/edge-manager components. An authenticated attacker with access to the relevant application or container logs could obtain these credentials and use them to impersonate services or gain unauthorized access to the Guardium control plane.
