Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM Cognos Analytics versions 11.1.7 through 11.2.0

Description: The issue is related to the default password settings, which do not require strong passwords, making it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.

Recommendations: For versions 11.1.7 and 11.2.0, consider enforcing strong password policies to mitigate the risk of account compromise. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional authentication measures until a more robust password policy can be enforced.
