Administrative privilege escalation via improper input validation
Published Mar 22, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2025
Privilege escalation in IBM QRadar SIEM 7.4 and 7.5 allows remote authenticated users to gain additional admin capabilities. IBM has not published the affected component or how improper input validation turns existing administrative capabilities into broader privileges. Access to an account with some administrative capabilities is required, and successful exploitation expands control within QRadar.
