CVE-2026-16340
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-46h5-qc35-fvcx ↗EUVD-2026-94887 ↗
description
IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.0.0–10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0–10.6.0.10, 10.6.1–10.6.6, and 11.0.0.0–11.0.0.2 are affected. A remote attacker may execute code if an affected gateway processes specially formed RFC2047 encoded-word input.
mitigation
Restrict network access to DataPower services that process RFC2047-encoded input to trusted sources until IBM provides remediation guidance. Monitor IBM updates and apply the vendor-provided fix when released.
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
