Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM QRadar SIEM versions 7.3 through 7.4

Description: The issue concerns hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, used by IBM QRadar SIEM for inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data.
