description

IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.1 and 12.2.2 have an authentication weakness in the edge-controller. A remote party that can reach the component without credentials may cause container images to run and could take control of managed edge clusters.

mitigation

Restrict access to edge-controller endpoints to trusted management networks and monitor for unexpected container image execution. Apply an IBM-provided update when a fixed release is available.
