What is CVE-2026-10025?

IBM QRadar versions 7.6.0.0 to 7.6.0.1 and 7.5.0 UP 15 Interim Fix 005 are susceptible to an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability. This flaw occurs in the parseXmlPayload() function within QRadar's event processing pipeline, which can process XML-formatted syslog events transmitted over UDP/TCP to port 514 without requiring authentication when certain log source types are configured for XML property autodetection. Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to manipulate XML data and potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Affected Version(s)
