CVE-2026-123218

CRITICAL CISA KEV Pub 07/11 Upd 10/11

Overview

This vulnerability is an authorization bypass affecting IBM Aspera Faspex versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.19. The root cause lies in improper validation of user privileges within the message handling mechanism, allowing crafted messages to circumvent intended access controls. The flaw specifically impacts the authorization logic in the message processing component of the Faspex server.

Vulnerability Description

IBM Aspera Faspex 5.0.0 through 5.0.19 could allow an authorized user to craft a specific message to bypass user authorization and gain full administrative privileges.

Impact

An attacker with any authorized user account can exploit this vulnerability to gain full administrative privileges on the IBM Aspera Faspex server. This enables complete control over the application, including managing users, altering configurations, and accessing all transferred data. No additional user interaction or elevated privileges are required beyond a valid user account, allowing lateral movement and potential full system compromise within affected environments.

Solution

IBM has released patches addressing this vulnerability in IBM Aspera Faspex versions later than 5.0.19. Administrators should upgrade to the fixed version as detailed in IBM advisory https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7295921. The advisory provides step-by-step patching instructions and recommends applying updates promptly to mitigate the authorization bypass flaw.
