- Security flag 'isSecurityEnabled' is incorrectly set after migrating from VMM. (PK78134)
- In certain cases sensitive information may appear in migration trace. (PK78134)
- Use of insecure password obfuscation algorithm by Web services could result in weaker than expected security provided the client module specifies a password in ibm-webservicesclient-bind.xmi and target environment has custom password encryption enabled. (PK79275)
- Sensitive information might appear in trace files.
(PK80337)
- XML digital signature is affected by a security issue.
(PK80596)
- If CSIv2 Security is configured with Identity Assertion, it may be possible for a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. (PK83097)
