Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Storage Protect Plus Microsoft File Systems Backup and Restore can be affected by vulnerabilities in requests, setuptools , python-certifi & urllib3 which include bypass security restrictions , by using download functions to inject and execute arbitrary code on the system, weaker security & obtaining sensitive information as described by the CVEs in the "Vulnerability Details" section. These vulnerabilities have been addressed.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-35195
DESCRIPTION: Psf Requests could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an incorrect control flow implementation vulnerability. If the first request in a session is made with verify=False, all subsequent requests to the same host will continue to ignore cert verification. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/291111 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-6345
DESCRIPTION: pypa/setuptools could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the package_index module. By persuading a victim to click a specially crafted URL, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability using its download functions to inject and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/298014 for the current score.

CVEID: CVE-2024-37891
DESCRIPTION: urllib3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to strip the Proxy-Authorization header during cross-origin redirects. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 4.4

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
