CVE-2026-18161

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to manipulate database queries due to improper neutralization of special elements in a boolean expression.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift is vulnerable to RAG poisoning via unauthenticated runbook upsert (CWE-74) in the FTM AI agent server (api.vectordb.runbooks.js:51). An unauthenticated attacker can insert malicious runbook content into the agent's vector database to steer AI-driven MCP tool calls, potentially triggering unauthorized payment actions or exfiltrating payment data.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution via Java native deserialization on the PayDir Business Rules Manager RMI SSL endpoint (BrmRMISSLServerSocketFactory.java:95, EP8). An adjacent-network attacker can deliver a crafted serialized payload to achieve arbitrary code execution, exposing all PayDir credentials and enabling manipulation of payment business rules.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to access sensitive information and modify system configurations due to missing authentication for a critical function.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information due to an XML external entity (XXE) injection flaw.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication and access sensitive information due to a hard-coded cryptographic key.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to clear active chat sessions due to improper authorization.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security controls by forging user identities due to improper authorization.
