CVE-2026-96119
CriticalCVSS 9.9Summary
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the system due to improper data sanitization by the HTTP Server Administration web application.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated attacker could obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the system, leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could result in system and data takeover in the organization.
Recommendation
Upgrade IBM i to a patched version. Additionally, restrict access to the HTTP Server Administration web application and monitor for unusual requests.
