CVE-2025-36220Network attack vector

Authenticated database modification via crafted SQL statements

Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026

SQL injection in IBM Cloud Pak for Data System Cyclops 11.3.0.2 through Interim Fix 002 allows remote authenticated users to modify database data. IBM states that Cyclops accepts specially crafted SQL statements but does not publish the affected endpoint, parameter, query path, or missing neutralization step. Low-privileged network access is required, and IBM's assessment bounds the consequence to limited database modification without user interaction.
