Last modified

CVE-2026-13773 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 10/10 on the CVSS scale. IBM WebSphere Extreme Scale 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.6 Approximately 50 generated CORBA stub classes in WebSphere eXtreme Scale's ogclient.jar call ORB.string_to_object() on an attacker-controlled IOR string during Java deserialization, turning any unfiltered ObjectInputStream sink in WAS into outbound IIOP SSRF to an attacker-chosen host; when chained with the IBM ORB's getUserException class-instantiation flaw (WAS-26), this SSRF escalates to remote code execution on the calling JVM.. EPSS estimates a 3.01% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
