CVE-2026-10538: CWE-502 Deserialization of untrusted data in BMC Control-M/Enterprise Manager
Messaging consumer functionality allows deserialization of user-controlled data without sufficient restriction of allowed object types in the out of support Control-M/Server and Control-M/Enterprise Manager versions 9.0.20.x and potentially earlier. This issue may allow an authenticated attacker to trigger unintended server-side behavior through crafted serialized content.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10538 is a CWE-502 deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability affecting BMC Control-M/Enterprise Manager version 9.0.20 and potentially earlier unsupported versions. The messaging consumer functionality deserializes user-controlled data without adequate restrictions on allowed object types. An authenticated attacker could exploit this by sending crafted serialized content to trigger unintended server-side behavior. No official fix or patch is currently documented, and the product is out of support.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause unintended server-side behavior by supplying malicious serialized data. This could potentially lead to compromise of the affected server's integrity or availability. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.9 (high), indicating a significant impact if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available from the vendor. Since the affected versions are out of support, users should consider upgrading to supported versions if available or implement compensating controls such as restricting access to the affected components to trusted users only. Monitor vendor advisories for any future updates regarding patches or mitigations.
