It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36041 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM MQ Operator. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36041/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36041/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36041","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36041/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36041","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vm4w-44cm-hc57"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"IBM MQ Operator","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Improper certificate validation in IBM MQ Operator allows attackers to disclose sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions via misconfigured keys.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"mq_operator","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"supplied_mq_advanced_container_images","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"IBM MQ Operator LTS 2.0.0 through 2.0.29, MQ Operator CD 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0 through 3.1.3, 3.3.0, 3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.5.0, 3.5.1 through 3.5.3, and MQ Operator SC2 3.2.0 through 3.2.12 Native HA CRR could be configured with a private key and chain other than the intended key which could disclose sensitive information or allow the attacker to perform unauthorized actions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-06-19","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-06-19T22:44:04Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/byteReaper77/CVE-2025-36041","stars":2,"title":"Exploit (C) of the CVE-2025-36041 vulnerability in IBM MQ"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"IBM MQ improper certificate validation","id":"CVE-2025-36041","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM QRadar SIEM cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2025-36042"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex session fixation","id":"CVE-2025-36040"},"products":["MQ Operator"],"published":"2025-06-15","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"IBM MQ Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-10572","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"IBM MQ Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-10574","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"IBM MQ Race Condition","id":"CVE-2026-10743","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-19"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"IBM MQ Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-12665","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-19"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"IBM MQ Container authentication bypass","id":"CVE-2024-39742","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM MQ Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2026-12148","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM MQ security bypass","id":"CVE-2024-40681","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-07"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-24","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Improper certificate validation in IBM MQ Operator allows attackers to disclose sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions via misconfigured keys.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36041/"}
