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-2026-17482 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Documentation Offline. 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-2026-17482/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17482/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17482","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17482/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17482","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fvvq-gc75-jg22"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Documentation Offline","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code and disclose information in IBM Documentation Offline due to improper file path control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"documentation_offline","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"IBM Documentation Offline 1.0.0 through 1.4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper control of file paths.","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 Documentation Offline is vulnerable to information disclosure, session forgery and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-17482","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities [, , ]","id":"CVE-2026-17483"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Documentation Offline is vulnerable to information disclosure, session forgery and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-17481"},"products":["Documentation Offline"],"published":"2026-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"IBM Documentation Offline is vulnerable to information disclosure, session forgery and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-17481","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Documentation Offline is vulnerable to information disclosure, session forgery and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-17473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"IBM Documentation Offline is vulnerable to information disclosure, session forgery and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-17468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"IBM Documentation Offline is vulnerable to information disclosure, session forgery and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-16713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code and disclose information in IBM Documentation Offline due to improper file path control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17482/"}
