High CVSS 8.2

CVE-2026-16930

Ibm Power System E1180 \(9080-heu\) Firmware

IBM Power Systems Firmware FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 is affected by a vulnerability in the interface between the BMC/FSP and the host system. An attacker with service account or root access to the BMC/FSP can execute arbitrary code on the host system, giving full control over the host system and all hosted partitions, resulting in a confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable with local access to the machine, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
Weakness
No authorisation check happens before the action.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
