High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-17015
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service and obtain sensitive information due to an out-of-bounds read.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- An out-of-bounds read exposes adjacent memory, often leftover secrets.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
