An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36096 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Aix. 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-2025-36096/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36096/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36096","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36096/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36096","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gcw9-j843-4vfx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM AIX OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can steal NIM private keys from IBM AIX and VIOS systems via man-in-the-middle attacks, compromising network installation security.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"vios","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM VIOS 3.1, and 4.1 stores NIM private keys used in NIM environments in an insecure way which is susceptible to unauthorized access by an attacker using man in the middle techniques.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"AIX Insufficiently Protected Credentials","id":"CVE-2025-36096","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:aix","products":["ibm:aix","ibm:vios"],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM WebSphere Application Server denial of service","id":"CVE-2025-36097"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Multiple security vulnerabilities are addressed with IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation iFixes for January 2026.","id":"CVE-2025-36094"},"products":["AIX","VIOS"],"published":"2025-11-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"AIX Code Execution","id":"CVE-2025-36250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"IBM AIX command execution","id":"CVE-2024-56346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-30"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-12-15"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Attackers can steal NIM private keys from IBM AIX and VIOS systems via man-in-the-middle attacks, compromising network installation security.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36096/"}
