Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-22347 is a cryptographic weakness (CWE-327) in IBM DevOps Velocity 5.0.0 and IBM UrbanCode Velocity versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.25, where weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms are used. This flaw could enable an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating medium severity with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability effects.
A remote attacker with network access could potentially exploit this vulnerability without privileges or user interaction, though it requires high attack complexity. Successful exploitation would allow decryption of highly sensitive data stored or transmitted by the affected software, compromising confidentiality.
IBM has published a security bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7172750 providing details on the issue and recommended mitigation steps.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-13 requires selection and implementation of specific cryptography types, directly stopping use of broken algorithms.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Mandating approved algorithms, cipher strength and usage standards directly stops the selection of broken or weak cryptographic primitives that attackers can exploit.
The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.
Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
