Affects IBM MQ, widely used enterprise middleware; heap overflow can enable DoS or RCE across organizations.
CVE-2026-10574
Heap overflow in IBM MQ allows DoS or possible code execution via malformed MQPUT messages.
Is CVE-2026-10574 being exploited?
Not confirmed. CVE-2026-10574 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked.
How severe is CVE-2026-10574?
CVE-2026-10574 is rated High with a CVSS score of 8.8. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.
Is there a patch for CVE-2026-10574?
Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2026-10574. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.
What does CVE-2026-10574 affect?
CVE-2026-10574 affects IBM MQ (MQPUT/MQPUT1 message handling). Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.
What should I do about CVE-2026-10574?
Install IBM update immediately; if delayed, restrict MQ access and enable monitoring/logging.
Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.
Authenticated attacker can trigger heap buffer overflow via MQPUT/MQPUT1 properties to cause DoS or achieve remote code execution.

As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
