CVE-2025-36410Network attack vector

Authenticated administrative actions via client-side security enforcement

Published Jan 20, 2026 · Updated Jan 20, 2026

Authorization bypass in IBM ApplinX 11.1 allows remote authenticated users to perform unauthorized administrative actions on the server. IBM attributes the flaw to server-side reliance on client-side security controls but has not identified the affected request handler or missing server-side check. A valid low-privilege account and a network path to the administrative interface are required, and the reported consequence is unauthorized server administration.
