Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is 12.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a race condition vulnerability as referenced in the IBM Security Bulletin No. 7280311:

- IBM Cognos Analytics could allow an attacker to obtain incorrect report summary results or cause report-processing failures due to a race condition in the Agentic AI assistant's concurrent request-handling logic when multiple authenticated users submit report-related tasks simultaneously.
(CVE-2026-15995)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM Cognos Analytics 12.1.3 (build 12.1.3-2607110822) or later.
