CVE-2025-36094Network attack vector

Authenticated data corruption via improper input-length validation

Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026

Improper input-length validation in IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation allows remote authenticated users to corrupt data or disrupt service. Business Automation Insights Core accepts an input length without sufficient validation in 24.0.0 through 24.0.0 Interim Fix 007, 24.0.1 through 24.0.1 Interim Fix 005, and 25.0.0 through 25.0.0 Interim Fix 002; IBM has not disclosed the specific field, function, or internal operation. Reaching the flaw requires an authenticated network session, and successful exploitation corrupts existing data or interrupts the service without a reported confidentiality impact.
