Critical CVSS 9.8
CVE-2026-12943
Ibm Hardware Management Console
IBM HMC V10.3.1050.0 through 10.3.1064.0 and IBM HMC V11.1.1110.0 through 11.1.1112.0 Management systems in IBM Power environments (HMC and Novalink) could allow an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Unfiltered input reaches the system shell, letting the attacker run their own commands on the server.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score puts short-term exploitation in a middle band: neither negligible nor imminent.
What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
