CVE-2026-12669
LowCVSS 3.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM MQ could allow an authenticated attacker to trigger a minor out-of-bounds read when sending malformed compressed data, though the data is not disclosed and the request is rejected.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated attacker could trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially destabilizing the service. The risk is limited because the request is rejected and no data is disclosed.
Recommendation
Apply the available IBM MQ updates containing the fix. Monitor logs for malformed compressed data sent by authenticated users.
