CVE-2026-1274Network attack vector

Authenticated access-control modification via undisclosed logic bypass

Published Apr 22, 2026 · Updated Apr 22, 2026

Business-logic bypass in IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 allows remote authenticated users to alter access controls. The access management control panel applies an undisclosed incorrect business rule; IBM has not identified the request, function, or validation error involved. High-privileged access is required, and successful exploitation changes control-panel data without reported disclosure or service interruption.
