Critical CVSS 9.8
CVE-2026-14512
Ibm Websphere Application Server
IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 traditional is vulnerable to pre-authentication unsafe deserialization which could allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication or execute arbitrary code.
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
- The application rebuilds an object from attacker-controlled data, which often leads to code execution.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
