Impact
IBM QRadar SIEM versions 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 UP15 Interim Fix 002 contain a flaw that lets a privileged user upload a crafted backup archive. When this archive is restored, the attacker can gain access to the underlying operating system, effectively enabling remote code execution. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-530 and CWE-552 and evaluated with a CVSS score of 7.2.
Affected Systems
IBM QRadar SIEM (versions 7.5.0 and 7.5.0 UP15 Interim Fix 002) are affected; any installation running these releases without the interim fix is susceptible.
Risk and Exploitability
The flaw presents a high‑severity risk with a CVSS score of 7.2. The EPSS score is < 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires an authenticated privileged user who can upload a malicious backup file; once the file is restored, the attacker is able to execute code on the host operating system, potentially compromising the SIEM environment and accessing sensitive data.
