CVE-2026-13477: CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in IBM QRadar
IBM QRadar 7.6.0.0 through 7.6.0.1, and 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 UP 15 Interim Fix 005 could allow an authenticated privileged user to execute arbitrary commands with normal user privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in IBM QRadar arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands (CWE-78). Specifically, authenticated privileged users can exploit insufficient input validation to execute arbitrary OS commands with normal user privileges on affected versions 7.6.0.0, 7.6.0.1, and 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 UP 15 Interim Fix 005. No official patch or remediation level has been published yet, and there are no known exploits in the wild.
Potential Impact
An authenticated privileged user can execute arbitrary OS commands with normal user privileges, potentially leading to limited unauthorized actions on the system. The impact is limited by the requirement for privileged authentication and the execution context being normal user privileges. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are rated low to medium.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to authenticated privileged users and monitor for suspicious activity related to command execution. Follow IBM's guidance when it becomes available.
