CVE-2025-36183Network attack vector

Limited server-side execution via dangerous file upload

Published Feb 17, 2026 · Updated Feb 17, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in IBM watsonx.data 2.2 through 2.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to modify limited server files or data. IBM Lakehouse accepts a dangerous file type from a privileged user and permits the uploaded file to execute on the server; IBM has not disclosed the affected upload handler or validation failure. The required privileged account bounds the reported consequence to limited server-side file or data modification, with no reported data disclosure.
