Remediation

Vendor Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now. Move to IBM Optim Test Data Management 2.0.0 IBM Optim Test Data Management 2.0.0 resolves all three vulnerabilities. File Path Traversal (ID: 218782) — The application now validates that file paths requested by users stay within the permitted directory. Any request attempting to access files outside that boundary is rejected. No Rate Limit (ID: 218776) — The application now enforces request rate limits per user on protected endpoints and per IP address on login endpoints. Requests that exceed the limit are blocked until the rate drops back within bounds. Weak Password Policy (ID: 218648) — Default accounts and passwords have been removed. A unique administrator password is now generated automatically during installation. Available from https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao-customer
