CVE-2026-84272
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.1 and 12.2.2 are vulnerable to missing authentication in the edge-controller component. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary container images and gain control of managed edge clusters.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could take control of edge clusters, potentially leading to data integrity breaches and disruption of data protection systems.
Recommendation
Apply security patches from IBM for Guardium Data Protection and restrict access to the edge-controller component.
