CVE-2026-10853
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk29th percentile - higher than 29% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM MQ improperly validates cluster command message lengths. An authenticated attacker with cluster access could cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
Risk Assessment
Organizations with IBM MQ clusters may experience service unavailability or compromise of cluster nodes by an authenticated attacker.
Recommendation
Apply the IBM MQ patch and review cluster access permissions, limiting them to the minimum necessary.

- CVE-2026-11381High
IBM MQ could allow an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code due to improper validation of message distribution list structures.
- CVE-2026-11378High
IBM MQ could allow an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code due to an integer overflow in distribution list processing.
- CVE-2026-11375High
IBM MQ contains a stack buffer overflow when processing XA transaction identifiers. An authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2026-10575High
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.
- CVE-2026-10027High
IBM MQ contains a buffer overflow when processing malformed compressed data on channels configured with compression enabled. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
Original NVD description (English source)
