Low risk17th percentile - higher than 17% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM Documentation Offline versions 1.0.0 through 1.4.1 could allow a remote attacker to forge valid session tokens due to the use of a hardcoded cryptographic key.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could hijack user sessions and gain unauthorized access to the system, potentially leading to data confidentiality breaches.
Recommendation
Immediately update to a version that does not contain the hardcoded key and rotate all existing session keys.
