CVE ID:CVE-2012-5756 (IC PM68926)

DESCRIPTION:

WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliances configured in a collective utilize a type of server to server connection. These server to server connections are protected using a shared XC10 secret key. All XC10s share a secret key used only internally. If the secret is discovered the user may "act" as a container server to XC10 at which point data in the grid would be available to a potential security attacker.
