CVE-2013-5391 — Ibm Worklight security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.3

IBM Worklight Consumer and Enterprise Editions 5.0.x before 5.0.6 Fix Pack 2 and 6.0.x before 6.0.0 Fix Pack 2, and Mobile Foundation Consumer and Enterprise Editions 5.0.x before 5.0.6 Fix Pack 2 and 6.0.0 Fix Pack 2 make it easier for attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging improper initialization of the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) in Android and use of the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) by a Worklight program. IBM X-Force ID: 87128.

Matched remediation archetype

Cryptography, certificate, signature, and channel validation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory affected algorithms, key uses, trust stores, certificate validation settings, random sources, and plaintext channels across clients and services.
  • Determine which secrets, identities, signatures, or data protections depend on the affected primitive or validation path.
  • Check debug, compatibility, fallback, and hostname or audience override settings in build and runtime configuration.

Remediate safely

  • Use a maintained platform cryptographic API with approved algorithms, modes, parameters, randomness, and full peer identity validation.
  • Remove insecure fallback and validation bypasses; separate keys by purpose and load them from managed secret storage.
  • Plan rotation or reissuance for affected keys, certificates, tokens, hashes, or ciphertext and document compatibility sequencing.
