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-2026-18531 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Maximo Application Suite. 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-2026-18531/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18531/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-18531","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18531/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-18531","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fjm9-fv2r-mxmv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Maximo Application Suite","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can tamper with session data in IBM Maximo Application Suite due to a weak HMAC session signing secret, requiring a vendor patch.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"maximo_application_suite","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-330","name":"Use of Insufficiently Random Values"}],"description":"IBM Maximo Application Suite 9.2, 9.1, and 9.0 could allow a remote attacker to tamper with session data due to the use of a weak HMAC session signing secret.","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":"Weak cryptography in Maximo Application Suite","id":"CVE-2026-18531","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2026-18532"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Maximo Application Suite - Location Service for Esri Component Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-18529"},"products":["Maximo Application Suite"],"published":"2026-08-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"There is a vulnerability in the IBM Maximo Manage application in IBM Maximo Application Suite for Cognos Analytics","id":"CVE-2025-36386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-28"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"IBM Maximo Application Suite XML external entity injection","id":"CVE-2024-27266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Maximo Application Suite privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2025-2898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-06"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Maximo Application Suite information disclosure","id":"CVE-2024-22328","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-06"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"IBM Maximo Application Suite improper access control","id":"CVE-2023-43037","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-10"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Maximo Asset Management cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2023-38723","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-13"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"IBM Maximo Asset Management cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2022-35645","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-02"}],"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":"2026-08-06","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can tamper with session data in IBM Maximo Application Suite due to a weak HMAC session signing secret, requiring a vendor patch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18531/"}
