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-2026-15961 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM PowerVM Hypervisor. 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-2026-15961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-15961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15961/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-15961","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8qq5-wpjc-v6g2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM PowerVM Hypervisor","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit improper format string handling in IBM PowerVM to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"power_system_e1050_\\(9043-mrx\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_e1080_\\(9080-hex\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_e1150_\\(9043-mru\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_e1180_\\(9080-heu\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_l1022_\\(9786-22h\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_l1024_\\(9786-42h\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_l1122_\\(9856-22h\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_l1124_\\(9856-42h\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1012_\\(9028-21b\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1014_\\(9105-41b\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1022_\\(9105-22a\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1022s_\\(9105-22b\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1024_\\(9105-42a\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1112_\\(9242-21b\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1112_\\(9242-21t\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1114_\\(9824-41b\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1122_\\(9824-22a\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1122s_\\(9824-22b\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"power_system_s1124_\\(9824-42a\\)_firmware","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 IBM PowerVM could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service due to improper control of format strings.","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":"Power System Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-15961","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Deserialization in Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack","id":"CVE-2026-15962"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Easy Dropbox Integration \u003c 2.2.0 -
