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-2026-105453 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Sterling Connect Direct for Unix. 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-2026-105453/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-105453/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-105453","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-105453/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-105453","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-889c-pwpc-x9cq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Sterling Connect:Direct","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can gain elevated privileges in IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Unix due to improper privilege management.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"IBM Sterling Connect Direct for Unix 6.3.0.0 through 6.3.0.7 and 6.4.0.0 through 6.4.0.6 could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges due to improper privilege management.","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":"IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Unix Improper Privilege Management","id":"CVE-2026-105453","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Authenticated Arbitrary Local File Read via Path Traversal in HAVELSAN's Liman MYS","id":"CVE-2026-105457"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Docker Sandboxes egress proxy could forward unrecognized client credentials to managed hosts","id":"CVE-2026-105452"},"products":["Sterling Connect Direct for Unix"],"published":"2026-10-19","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A local attacker can gain elevated privileges in IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Unix due to improper privilege management.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-105453/"}
