CVE-2018-1418
Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—💥 Exploit
IBM Security QRadar SIEM 7.2 and 7.3 could allow a user to bypass authentication which could lead to code execution. IBM X-Force ID: 138824.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 8.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 51%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
