AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

IBM's cryptographic software (versions 7.0.0-7.5.51) has a timing-based weakness that leaks information during RSA encryption operations, allowing attackers to potentially recover sensitive cryptographic keys or data by measuring how long operations take to complete. This affects organizations using IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture for security operations. An attacker with the ability to measure response times could exploit this flaw to gradually deduce private key information used in RSA encryption.

What every action level means

Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.

Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
