CVE-2024-45641
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIBM Security ReaQta EDR 3.12 could allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions due to improper SSL certificate validation.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIBM Security ReaQta EDR version 3.12 contains improper SSL certificate validation, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept encrypted communications and perform unauthorized actions by presenting fraudulent certificates.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed IBM Security QRadar EDR or ReaQta EDR versionLocate the product's installation directory or check running services named 'ReaQta' or 'QRadar EDR', then find a version file,About dialog, or use the product's CLI/binaries to query the installed version (e.g., --version flag or a versioninfo file in the installation folder)Affected if The installed version is 3.12.x (any version from 3.12.0 through 3.12.16)
-
Compare version against vulnerable rangeIf the product is installed, verify the exact version number. Vulnerable versions are >= 3.12.0 and < 3.12.17Affected if Version falls within 3.12.0 to 3.12.16 inclusive
-
Confirm product is in use or network-enabledVerify the EDR agent or server component is actively running and capable of making network connections. Check if the service/process is running and if network listeners or outbound connections are configuredAffected if The product is installed and operational with network communication enabled, exposing it to potential MITM attacks due to the improper SSL validation
You are affected if IBM Security QRadar EDR or ReaQta EDR version 3.12.x (through 3.12.16) is installed and actively running with network capabilities.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.12.17
Implement proper SSL/TLS certificate validation including chain-of-trust verification, hostname validation, and expiration checking for all network communications.
3.12.17
- Upgrade IBM Security ReaQta EDR from any version >= 3.12 but < 3.12.17 to version 3.12.17 or later
- After upgrading, verify SSL certificate validation is working correctly by testing secure connections
