Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
IBM QRadar SIEM 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 Update Package 14 could allow an attacker with access to one tenant to access hostname data from another tenant's account.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

IBM QRadar SIEM 7.5.0 through 7.5.0 Update Package 14 contains a tenant isolation vulnerability where proper access controls between tenants are not enforced, allowing a user with access to one tenant to access hostname data belonging to another tenant's account.

MitigationApply the vendor security update (Update Package 15 or later) to IBM QRadar SIEM 7.5.0 to remediate the tenant isolation bypass. After patching, verify that tenant segregation is properly enforced through access control testing.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify QRadar version
    Use the QRadar command line or admin console to determine the exact version and Update Package level. Common methods include running 'qradar_version' command or checking the /opt/qradar/conf/qradar.version file.
    Affected if Version is 7.5.0 through Update Package 14 (any UP14 or earlier)
  2. Confirm multi-tenant deployment
    Check if the QRadar deployment has multiple tenants configured. This can be done through the Admin console under 'Tenant Management' or via the 'qcommand -qterm list tenants' command if available.
    Affected if Two or more tenants are defined in the system
  3. Verify tenant isolation configuration
    Examine the tenant configuration to confirm that proper tenant boundaries are defined. Check that each tenant has distinct tenant IDs and that tenant-specific filtering is intended to be enforced.
    Affected if Multiple tenants exist but cross-tenant data visibility is possible in the hostname data
  4. Test hostname data access across tenants
    As a user with access to one tenant, attempt to query or view hostname data (such as log sources, asset information, or offense data containing hostnames) that belongs to a different tenant. Compare what data is accessible versus what should be restricted.
    Affected if A user in Tenant A can view hostname information belonging to Tenant B when they should not have access

You are affected if your QRadar version is 7.5.0 through Update Package 14 AND you have multiple tenants configured, AND cross-tenant hostname data access is observable.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
