Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-115646 (Partial String Comparison Vulnerability in HiRDB), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-115646 (entry last updated 2026-11-10):
Affected:
- Hitachi HiRDB Server Version 10: from 10-00, fixed in 10-11-02
- Hitachi HiRDB Server Version 9: from 09-50-06, through 09-66-22
- Hitachi HiRDB Server with Additional Function Version 9: from 09-50-/F, through 09-66/V
- Hitachi HiRDB Server Version 9(32): from 09-50-06, through 09-66-22
- Hitachi HiRDB Server with Additional Function Version 9(32): from 09-50-/F, through 09-66-/V
Fixed versions: 10-11-02.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Runs an affected HiRDB Server version listed in the advisory (Version 10 from 10-00 up to 10-12-01, and listed Version 9 and 9(32) releases, including the with Additional Function variants) (source: https://www.hitachi.com/products/it/software/security/info/vuls/hitachi-sec-2026-165/index.html)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, no login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-115646 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-115646 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://www.hitachi.com/products/it/software/security/info/vuls/hitachi-sec-2026-165/index.html
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

Questions about CVE-2026-115646

Is CVE-2026-115646 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The advisory describes a partial string comparison flaw in HiRDB Server, and the facts give no further detail on how it works. The CVSS 9.8 base score in the advisory rates the impact as high for confidentiality, integrity and availability.Source: hitachi.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-115646?

HiRDB Server Version 10: from 10-00 before 10-11-02. HiRDB Server Version 9: from 09-50-06 through 09-66-22. HiRDB Server with Additional Function Version 9: from 09-50-/F through 09-66/V. HiRDB Server Version 9(32): from 09-50-06 through 09-66-22. HiRDB Server with Additional Function Version 9(32): from 09-50-/F through 09-66-/V.Source: cve.now feed data

Am I affected, and how do I check?

The advisory lists HiRDB Server Version 10 from 10-00 with a fixed release of 10-11-02, and HiRDB Server Version 9 and 9(32) from 09-50-06 through 09-66-22, plus the with Additional Function variants of Version 9 and 9(32). The condition text gives the Version 10 range as up to 10-12-01, which does not match the 10-11-02 fixed value, so check the advisory's own table. To check a installation, compare its HiRDB Server version number against these listed ranges.Source: hitachi.com

How do I fix CVE-2026-115646?

For Version 10, the advisory's fixed value is 10-11-02, so move to 10-11-02 or later. The facts give no fixed release for the listed Version 9 and 9(32) lines, so consult the advisory for the remedy on those versions.Source: hitachi.com
