IBM Watson Speech Services Cartridge is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Sterling File Gateway, due to a flaw which may allow an authenticated attacker to send unauthorized requests from the system, potentially leading to network enumeration or facilitating other attacks [GHSA-rr7j-v2q5-chgv] [CVE-2026-7253]. IBM Sterling File Gateway is used in our speech runtimes. This vulnerabilitiy has been addressed. Please read the details for remediation below.
AnalysisAI
Server-Side Request Forgery in IBM Watson Speech Services Cartridge (versions 4.0.0 through 5.3.1) lets an authenticated attacker coerce the system into issuing crafted requests to internal or external hosts, enabling internal network enumeration and pivoting toward follow-on attacks. The weakness lives in the embedded IBM Sterling File Gateway component used by the speech runtimes (GHSA-rr7j-v2q5-chgv). No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.18%, 8th percentile) and CISA SSVC marks exploitation as none, so this is a patch-priority issue rather than an emergency.
