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 · unedited
IBM Storage Defender - Resiliency Service 2.0.0 through 2.0.9 does not properly validate a certificate which could allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering in the communication path between the host and client.

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 · high confidence

IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.9 fails to properly validate SSL/TLS certificates, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof trusted entities by intercepting and tampering with the communication path between host and client.

MitigationUpgrade to IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service version 2.1.0 or later which contains the proper certificate validation fix. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement strict certificate pinning or network segmentation as compensating controls.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service is installed
    Locate the installation directory or check system inventory for the product named 'IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service' or 'Resiliency Service'
    Affected if The product is present on the system
  2. Determine the installed version
    Use the product's version lookup mechanism (such as running 'version' command from the installation directory, checking the About dialog, or reviewing installation logs) and compare the version number to the affected range 2.0.0 through 2.0.9
    Affected if The version is 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7, 2.0.8, or 2.0.9
  3. Verify if the service is configured for network communication
    Review the service configuration files or network settings to determine if SSL/TLS client or server connections are enabled
    Affected if Network communication with SSL/TLS is configured and active
  4. Confirm SSL/TLS validation is in use
    Inspect the SSL/TLS configuration settings or connection logs to verify that certificate validation is intended but ineffective due to the vulnerability
    Affected if Certificate validation is expected but the version falls within the vulnerable range

You are affected if IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service version 2.0.0 through 2.0.9 is installed and the service uses SSL/TLS network communication.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 2.0.9
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service version 2.1.0 or later which contains the proper certificate validation fix. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement strict certificate pinning or network segmentation as compensating controls.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to a version newer than 2.0.9 (e.g., 2.0.10 or later if available). Check IBM's official security bulletin for the exact fixed release version.

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service by checking the product documentation or system inventory.
  2. 2. Review IBM's official security bulletin for CVE-2024-47119 at www.ibm.com to confirm the specific fixed version and any prerequisites.
  3. 3. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade, ensuring backups of current configuration are available.
  4. 4. Download the fixed version of Storage Defender Resiliency Service from IBM Fix Central or the IBM Container Registry.
  5. 5. Follow IBM's standard upgrade procedure for Storage Defender Resiliency Service, including pre-upgrade checks and post-upgrade validation.
  6. 6. After upgrading, verify that the certificate validation vulnerability is resolved and that the service starts successfully.
  7. 7. Test critical workflows to ensure the upgrade did not introduce any regressions.
Caveat Review the IBM Storage Defender Resiliency Service release notes for the target version to identify any breaking changes or migration requirements before upgrading.
