User impersonation via expired session reuse
Published Feb 17, 2026 · Updated Feb 17, 2026
Insufficient session expiration in IBM Security QRadar EDR 3.12 through 3.12.23 allows remote authenticated users to impersonate users. The application leaves a session valid after it expires instead of invalidating it; IBM has not disclosed a narrower component or request path. Exploitation requires an authenticated account and retained expired session material; IBM reports impersonation but does not detail which actions become available.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
