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-2026-15061 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Aix. 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-2026-15061/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15061/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-15061","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15061/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-15061","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hvmr-4fv5-38xw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM AIX OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can overwrite files via path traversal in the nimesis registration service of IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"vios","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 's nimesis registration service could allow a remote attacker to overwrite files due to path traversal.","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":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-15061","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:aix","products":["ibm:aix","ibm:vios"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL Injection in Snowflake Snowpark Python SDK","id":"CVE-2026-15062"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"systemd-machined: unprivileged users can terminate arbitrary processes","id":"CVE-2026-15060"},"products":["AIX","PowerVM VIOS"],"published":"2026-08-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"AIX Code Execution","id":"CVE-2025-36250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"IBM AIX command execution","id":"CVE-2024-56346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-30"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-12-15"}],"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":"2026-08-20","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can overwrite files via path traversal in the nimesis registration service of IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15061/"}
