Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-123218 in the wild since at least 9 Nov 2026.\n\nAffected product: IBM Aspera Faspex. 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-2026-123218/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-123218/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-123218","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-123218/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-123218","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-29m7-hw74-2gwc"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"name":"IBM Aspera Faspex","product":"aspera_faspex","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"IBM Aspera Faspex 5.0.0 through 5.0.19 could allow an authorized user to craft a specific message to bypass user authorization and gain full administrative privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-11-10","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-11-10T04:21:04Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/foxcornlab/faspex-scanner","stars":0,"title":"Detection-only triage for IBM Aspera Faspex CVE-2026-123218 (CVSS 9.8, CISA KEV): grades Faspex 5 installs against the 5.0.19 PL1 fix, catches the bare-5.0.19 trap."}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex Incorrect Authorization","id":"CVE-2026-123218","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2026-11-09","dueDate":"2026-11-12","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Aspera Faspex","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes).
