CVE-2026-16426

6.5

IBM · Concert

IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to send unauthorized requests from the system.

Executive summary

IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery, which may allow attackers to perform unauthorized network requests and system enumeration.

Vulnerability

The application is susceptible to CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery. This flaw occurs because the system improperly validates user-supplied input, allowing an authenticated attacker to force the server to initiate requests to internal or external resources.

Business impact

While the CVSS score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity, the ability to perform SSRF can lead to significant downstream risks. An attacker may leverage this vulnerability to bypass firewall restrictions, perform internal network reconnaissance, or interact with metadata services, potentially exposing sensitive configuration data or facilitating further unauthorized access to internal infrastructure.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Upgrade IBM Concert to version 3.0.1.1 immediately as specified in the vendor security advisory.

Proactive Monitoring: Review application and network access logs for suspicious outbound requests originating from the IBM Concert server that deviate from expected traffic patterns.

Compensating Controls: Implement strict egress filtering on the network segment hosting the IBM Concert instance to restrict unauthorized outbound connections to internal or sensitive external endpoints.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: No

Analyst recommendation

Organizations utilizing IBM Concert must prioritize the transition to version 3.0.1.1 to eliminate the SSRF risk. Failure to patch allows attackers to potentially map internal network assets and bypass perimeter defenses. Apply the vendor-provided update as soon as possible to maintain a secure posture.
