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-2026-16896 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm I. 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-2026-16896/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16896/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16896","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16896/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16896","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5j9j-5mc9-fhx9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM i OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated attacker can exploit a race condition in IBM i to gain unauthorized access to files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"i","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain unauthorized access to files due to a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition.","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 i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Network Authentication Service","id":"CVE-2026-16896","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:i","products":["ibm:i"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-16897"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Authentication Bypass in Metasploit JSON-RPC Service When DB Health Check Fails","id":"CVE-2026-16895"},"products":["i"],"published":"2026-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"IBM i is Affected By An Improper Control of Code Generation Vulnerability in HTTP Server Administration GUI","id":"CVE-2026-96119","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Remote Code Execution Vulnerability []","id":"CVE-2026-16860","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in the Debug Server","id":"CVE-2026-17083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Line Printer Daemon []","id":"CVE-2026-17218","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Navigator for i","id":"CVE-2026-17276","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"IBM i Is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK and IBM Java Runtime","id":"CVE-2026-18193","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Navigator for i","id":"CVE-2026-18099","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"}],"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":"2026-08-14","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A local authenticated attacker can exploit a race condition in IBM i to gain unauthorized access to files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16896/"}
