What to check
- Applies to
- The 40 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CERT-FR published a consolidated advisory aggregating numerous IBM security bulletins issued between November 6-13, 2026, covering vulnerabilities across a wide range of IBM enterprise products: Big SQL (Cloud Pak for Data and Software Hub), Cognos Analytics, Common Licensing and Common Licensing ART, QRadar Analyst Workflow, Deployment Intelligence App, Log Source Management App, Threat Intelligence, Use Case Manager App, and Security QRadar EDR, SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services, WebSphere Application Server, and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. The vulnerabilities collectively span remote code execution, denial of service, information disclosure, security bypass, SSRF, stored/reflected XSS, and CSRF, though the advisory does not map specific CVEs to specific impacts per product.
No evidence of active exploitation is indicated in the advisory; it is a standard patch notification referencing the vendor's own security bulletins for remediation guidance. Affected organizations running any of the listed product versions without the referenced security fixes should prioritize patching based on their exposure, particularly for internet-facing components such as WebSphere Application Server and QRadar applications, which carry the risk of remote code execution and data confidentiality impact. Given the sheer volume of CVEs (over 200) spanning multiple product lines, defenders should consult the linked IBM bulletins to identify which specific CVEs and patches apply to their deployed product versions.
As this is a CERT-FR-curated advisory rather than original vulnerability research, it functions as a pointer to vendor patches rather than new disclosure; however, it aggregates critical patching information that is operationally important for any organization running IBM Big SQL, Cognos, Common Licensing, QRadar, SPSS, or WebSphere products.

Free public brief. Slack alerts on the vendors you run come with the paid plans, and a new account gets three days of them, no card.
What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,572 reports from 147 sources, 724 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
