High CVSS 7.3
CVE-2026-11980
IBM Aspera Desktop App 1.0.5 through 1.0.19 can allow arbitrary code execution by loading DLL files at start-up.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine and with an ordinary user account — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
