Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM PowerSC versions 1.3 through 2.1

Description The issue is related to the use of single-factor authentication in IBM PowerSC, which can lead to an unnecessary risk of compromise compared to the benefits of a dual-factor authentication scheme.

Recommendations For IBM PowerSC versions 1.3 through 2.1, consider implementing dual-factor authentication to mitigate the risk of compromise. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive areas of the system until a more secure authentication scheme can be implemented. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
