CVE-2025-36058

Local sensitive configuration disclosure via ConfigMap

Published Jan 20, 2026 · Updated Jan 20, 2026

Information disclosure in IBM Business Automation Workflow containers allows local users to read sensitive data from a Kubernetes ConfigMap. IBM states that sensitive configuration information is placed in a ConfigMap but has not published the creating component, affected keys, or access-control error. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and affects confidentiality; the affected ranges are 24.0.0 through 24.0.0 Interim Fix 006, 24.0.1 through 24.0.1 Interim Fix 005, and 25.0.0 through 25.0.0 Interim Fix 002.
