CVE-2025-36106Network attack vector

Network data exposure and modification via AFNetworking

Published Jul 21, 2025 · Updated Aug 18, 2025

Inadequate encryption in IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile for iOS 1.1.0 through 1.1.22 allows remote attackers to read and modify network data. The iOS client loads a deprecated or misconfigured AFNetworking library at runtime, but IBM has not disclosed the specific setting or operation that fails. Exploitation requires a network path capable of intercepting application traffic, and exposed data can reveal confidential information on the device or network.
