CVE-2026-18154
HighCVSS 8.0Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk5th percentile - higher than 5% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information due to the use of a hard-coded or predictable cryptographic key.
Risk Assessment
Use of a weak cryptographic key could allow an attacker to decrypt sensitive data or impersonate the system. This could lead to confidentiality and integrity breaches.
Recommendation
Replace cryptographic keys with random and secure ones, and ensure they are not hard-coded. Review security configuration.
