Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Controller. 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-2025-36178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36178/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36178","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mcq3-jh58-5jpc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Controller","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass input validation checks on file sizes in IBM Controller, potentially violating security constraints.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1284","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input"}],"description":"IBM Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP7, and 11.1.0 through 11.1.3 FP1 could allow an authenticated user to bypass input validation due to improper validation of client-side input of file size.","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":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Controller","id":"CVE-2025-36178","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Inadequate Pod Communication Restrictions, affects watsonx.data","id":"CVE-2025-36180"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Integrated Analytics System file upload","id":"CVE-2025-36174"},"products":["Controller"],"published":"2026-09-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-18","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass input validation checks on file sizes in IBM Controller, potentially violating security constraints.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36178/"}
