CVE-2017-1696

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-1696 is a critical vulnerability affecting IBM QRadar 7.2 and 7.3, allowing a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This flaw, stemming from improper input validation (CWE-20), enables an attacker to send a specially crafted request and achieve full compromise of the system. With a CVSS v3 score of 8.8 (High), it presents a significant risk due to its low attack complexity, requiring only authenticated access, and leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Despite its severity, there is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, and it has received no community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not actively exploited in the wild.
