An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-14979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management. 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-2026-14979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-14979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14979/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-14979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w545-wjm2-rf4h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management via improper handling of XML entity expansion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"engineering_lifecycle_management","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-776","name":"Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs"}],"description":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.0.3 ( Interim Fix 001 through ) Interim Fix 021, 7.1.0 ( Interim Fix 001 through ) Interim Fix 009, and 7.2.0 and 7.2.0 Interim Fix 001 DOORS could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to improper handling of XML entity expansion.","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 Engineering Lifecycle Management - Jazz Foundation is vulnerable to XML Entity Expansion attack","id":"CVE-2026-14979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty is affected by a cross-site request forgery","id":"CVE-2026-14980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Unicode normalization mismatch in go-slug ignore pattern matching may bypass intended file exclusions","id":"CVE-2026-14978"},"products":["Engineering Lifecycle Management"],"published":"2026-07-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management - Jazz Foundation is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2026-3660","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management - Jazz Foundation is vulnerable to Server Post-Auth Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-4051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management - Jazz Foundation is vulnerable to XML external entity injection (XXE) attack","id":"CVE-2026-3603","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management - Global Configuration Management is vulnerable to cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2025-36033","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-03"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-28","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management via improper handling of XML entity expansion.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14979/"}
