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-2026-14971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM PowerVM Novalink. 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-2026-14971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-14971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14971/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-14971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jgc9-pfqx-4x48"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"IBM PowerVM Novalink","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Misconfigured IBM PowerVM Novalink APIs may allow unauthorized operations under non-default conditions, requiring a patch to reduce attack surface.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"powervm_novalink","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":3.9,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-16","name":null}],"description":"IBM PowerVM Novalink 2.2.02.2.12.2.1.1, and 2.3.02.3.0.12.3.12.3.2 IBM NovaLink APIs misconfiguration may increase attack surface and enable unintended or unauthorized operations under non-default conditions.","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":"This PowerVM Novalink update is being released to address","id":"CVE-2026-14971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path Traversal in IBM Desktop App","id":"CVE-2026-14973"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-14970"},"products":["PowerVM Novalink"],"published":"2026-07-17","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM WebSphere Application affects IBM PowerVM Novalink.","id":"CVE-2026-9171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-17"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-20","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Misconfigured IBM PowerVM Novalink APIs may allow unauthorized operations under non-default conditions, requiring a patch to reduce attack surface.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14971/"}
