CVE-2026-12354
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk38th percentile - higher than 38% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM MQ versions 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, and 10.0 contain a vulnerability due to improper validation of JNDI names in the Resource Adapter Installation Verification Test application. An authenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code on the application server.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with valid credentials could take control of the application server and execute malicious code. The risk includes full compromise of system integrity and confidentiality.
Recommendation
Update IBM MQ to the latest patched version. Restrict access to the verification application and enforce strict JNDI name validation.
