WID-SEC-2026-3307 · first 11.09.2026 · updated 23.09.2026 · CVSS 8,7
What it is about
IBM MQ ist eine Message Oriented Middleware von IBM. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in IBM MQ Appliance ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) durchzuführen, Daten zu manipulieren, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder Denial-of-Service-Zustände herbeizuführen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen
- Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) durchzuführen
- Daten zu manipulieren
- vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder Denial-of-Service-Zustände herbeizuführen
Am I affected?
Affected according to the BSI:
- IBM MQ Operator
- IBM MQ Appliance <9.4.0.26
- IBM MQ Appliance <9.4.5.3
- IBM MQ Appliance <10.0.0.5
The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.
What helps?
Update to at least:
- IBM MQ Appliance 9.4.0.26
- IBM MQ Appliance 9.4.5.3
- IBM MQ Appliance 10.0.0.5
Is the vulnerability already being exploited?
None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
