Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-36255 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-36255 is a high-severity vulnerability in IBM DS8900F ( R9.4), published on 19 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36255 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM DS8900F ( R9.4). 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-2025-36255/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36255/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36255","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36255/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36255","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g2ch-h9hj-8fc4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Storage System","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can escalate privileges by creating a user with privileged roles due to improper privilege definitions in IBM DS8900F and DS8A00 storage systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"ds8900f_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"ds8a00_firmware","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-267","name":"Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions"}],"description":"IBM System Storage DS8A00 10.1.3.0 through 10.11.35.0 and IBM DS8900F 89.40.83.0 through 89.44.25.0 could allow an authenticated user to create a user with privileged user roles due to improper privileged defined with unsafe actions.","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":"DS8900F and DS8A00 Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-36255","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is vulnerable due to plaintext storage of a password","id":"CVE-2025-36258"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DS8900F and DS8A00 Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2025-36254"},"products":["DS8900F ( R9.4)","DS8A00( R10.0 - R10.1 )"],"published":"2026-08-19","related":[{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"DS8900F and DS8A00 Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2025-36254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Missing Authorization with the DS8900F and DS8A00 Hardware Management Console","id":"CVE-2025-36192","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-26"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM DS8900F file manipulation","id":"CVE-2023-46169","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-07"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM DS8900F information disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-46170","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-07"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"IBM DS8900F security bypass","id":"CVE-2023-46172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-07"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"DS8900F and DS8A00 Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2025-36398","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"}],"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":"2026-08-20","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can escalate privileges by creating a user with privileged roles due to improper privilege definitions in IBM DS8900F and DS8A00 storage systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36255/"}
