CVE-2026-15995: CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') in IBM Cognos Analytics
IBM Cognos Analytics 12.1.3 GA Version with build number through 12.1.3-2606251736 could allow an attacker to obtain incorrect report summary results or cause report-processing failures due to a race condition in the Agentic AI assistant's concurrent request-handling logic when multiple authenticated users submit report-related tasks simultaneously.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15995 is a concurrency issue in IBM Cognos Analytics 12.1.3 GA (builds through 12.1.3-2606251736) where improper synchronization in the Agentic AI assistant's handling of simultaneous report-related requests by multiple authenticated users can lead to race conditions. This may result in incorrect report summaries or failures in report processing. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-362 (Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization). No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access can trigger concurrent report-related tasks that exploit the race condition, potentially causing inaccurate report summaries or failures in report processing. There is no indication of data confidentiality or availability impact beyond incorrect or failed report generation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider limiting concurrent report submissions by multiple users or applying any recommended workarounds from IBM once available.
