CVE-2025-12755

Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM MQ Operator and Queue manager container images

Published Feb 17, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

IBM MQ Operator (SC2 v3.2.0–3.8.1, LTS v2.0.0–2.0.29) and IBM‑supplied MQ Advanced container images (across affected SC2, CD, and LTS 9.3.x–9.4.x releases) contain a vulnerability where log messages are not properly neutralized before being written to log files. This flaw could allow an unauthorized user to inject malicious data into MQ log entries, potentially leading to misleading logs, log manipulation, or downstream log‑processing issues.
