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-2026-16901 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-2026-16901/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16901/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16901","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16901/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16901","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v8j7-x5rv-cr35"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM AIX OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS systems due to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"vios","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to an out-of-bounds write.","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-2026-16901","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:aix","products":["ibm:aix","ibm:vios"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-16903"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Network Authentication Service","id":"CVE-2026-16898"},"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-21","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS systems due to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16901/"}
