IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM VIOS 3.1, and 4.1 stores NIM private keys used in NIM environments in an insecure way which is susceptible to unauthorized access by an attacker using man in the middle techniques.

The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ55968. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ55968 advisory.

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM VIOS 3.1, and 4.1 NIM server (formerly known as NIM master) service (nimesis)     could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands due to improper process controls. This     addresses additional attack vectors for a vulnerability that was previously addressed in CVE-2024-56346.
    (CVE-2025-36250)

  - IBM AIX 7.2 and 7.3 nimsh service SSL/TLS protection mechanisms could allow a remote attacker to execute     arbitrary commands due to improper process controls. (CVE-2024-56347)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM VIOS 3.1, and 4.1 nimsh service SSL/TLS implementations could allow a remote     attacker to execute arbitrary commands due to improper process controls. This addresses additional attack     vectors for a vulnerability that was previously addressed in CVE-2024-56347. (CVE-2025-36251)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM VIOS 3.1, and 4.1 stores NIM private keys used in NIM environments in an     insecure way which is susceptible to unauthorized access by an attacker using man in the middle     techniques. (CVE-2025-36096)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ56113. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ56113 advisory.
