Summary
CVE-2026-17619 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting IBM Platform RTM, a reporting and monitoring component of IBM Spectrum LSF. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send specially crafted SQL statements to the application’s web interface, potentially exposing, modifying, or deleting data in the back-end database. IBM rates this issue High severity with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6.
Technical details
- Root cause: IBM Platform RTM’s web interface fails to properly validate or sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries executed against the back-end database.
- Trigger conditions: An attacker submits crafted input containing SQL syntax through the exposed web interface; no authentication or user interaction is required to trigger the flaw.
- Attack vector: Network — the vulnerable interface is reachable remotely, and exploitation requires low attack complexity (AC:L) and no privileges (PR:N).
- Impact: Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to view, add, modify, or delete information in the back-end database, resulting in high confidentiality impact and limited integrity/availability impact.
Affected software
- IBM Platform RTM (Spectrum LSF) version 10.2.0.15
- IBM Platform RTM (Spectrum LSF) version 10.2.0.16
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.6 (High)
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Upgrade affected IBM Platform RTM installations (versions 10.2.0.15 and 10.2.0.16) to IBM Platform RTM 10.2 build 603092, available via IBM Fix Central.
- If immediate patching is not possible: IBM has not published a workaround for this issue; organizations that cannot patch immediately should restrict network access to the Platform RTM web interface (e.g., limit exposure to trusted internal networks or VPN-only access) and monitor for anomalous database query activity until the update can be applied.
