CVE-2026-6935: CWE-427 Uncontrolled Search Path Element in IBM Concert
CVE-2026-6935 is a vulnerability in IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 where the software invokes operating system commands without fully qualifying executable paths or restricting search path resolution. This allows an attacker with local system access to manipulate the search path environment and execute untrusted or malicious code. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 7.8.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 contain an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability (CWE-427). The software calls OS commands without specifying full executable paths or adequately controlling the search path, enabling a local attacker to influence which executables are run by manipulating the environment. This can lead to execution of malicious code with the privileges of the Concert application.
Potential Impact
An attacker with local access can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code by controlling the search path environment. This can result in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H).
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users and monitor for suspicious activity related to environment manipulation.
