CVE-2026-10575
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk18th percentile - higher than 18% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM MQ contains a heap buffer overflow when processing MQPUT operations with malformed distribution headers. An authenticated attacker could cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges.
Risk Assessment
Organizations using IBM MQ are exposed to service unavailability or privilege escalation by an authenticated attacker sending malicious messages.
Recommendation
Apply the IBM MQ patch and consider validating distribution headers at the application level.
