Cloud Foundry Bits Service Release, versions prior to 2.14.0, uses an insecure hashing algorithm to sign URLs. A remote malicious user may obtain a signed URL and extract the signing key, allowing them complete read and write access to the the Bits Service storage.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
