CVE-2023-33842: IBM SPSS Modeler information disclosure

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.18% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

IBM SPSS Modeler on Windows 17.0, 18.0, 18.2.2, 18.3, 18.4, and 18.5 requires the end user to have access to the server SSL key which could allow a local user to decrypt and obtain sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 256117.
