High CVSS 8.2
CVE-2026-17485
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service and obtain sensitive information due to an integer underflow.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some 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.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
