CVE-2026-84276

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.5)—

IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2.2 is affected by a denial-of-service vulnerability in the edge-controller. An unauthenticated remote attacker with network access to the edge-controller gRPC service can provide malformed task data that triggers an unchecked type assertion, causing the edge-controller process to terminate unexpectedly.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Base score: 7.5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.33%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 24
Score date: 10/14/2026

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).
