CVE-2026-18847
Ibm I 7.3 … 7.6
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-18847 is a high-severity Origin Validation Error (CWE-346) vulnerability in Ibm I. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique ARP Cache Poisoning (T1557.002); ranked at the 7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement directly requires validating the source of data before allowing transmission or receipt.
Device identification and authentication mandates verifying the source before establishing connections.
Session authenticity mechanisms require validation that communications originate from the expected party.
Boundary protection at interfaces enforces checks on the origin of incoming communications.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Documenting authorized flows supports origin validation by defining expected sources.
Authentication directly verifies the source of users/services/hardware, mitigating origin validation failures.
Verifying identity assertions enforces origin validation for conveyed claims.
Protecting networks from unauthorized access requires origin checks on communication sources.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Network security controls enforce origin validation at network boundaries.
Security of network services includes validating the authenticity of service endpoints.
Network segregation reduces exposure but does not directly validate origins.
Application security requirements explicitly call for origin validation of inputs and communications.
Secure architecture principles encourage origin checks but do not mandate them.
Secure coding practices include implementing proper origin validation to prevent spoofing.
