CVE-2019-4306 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2019-4306: IBM Security Guardium Big Data Intelligence (SonarG) 4.0 specifies permissions for a security-critical resource which could lead to the exposure of sensitive information or the modification of that resource by unintended parties. IBM X-Force ID: 160986.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2019-4306

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2019-4306 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2019-4306

With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2019-4306 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2019-4306, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2019-4306, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: Low
    CVE-2019-4306 could lead to minor leaks of non-critical information without major privacy breaches.
  • Integrity: Low
    Exploiting CVE-2019-4306 may cause minor changes to data without severely impacting its accuracy.
  • Availability: None
    CVE-2019-4306 does not impact system availability.

Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS)

The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.

EPSS Score: 0.064% (probability of exploit)

EPSS Percentile: 30.99% (lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 69.01% of others.
