Additionally, this provides access to the underlying XCC Operating System which is not normally accessible. Only these versions are affected and are no longer available for download. Process enhancements have also been made to prevent and identify potential future regression.","score":7.1,"severity":"high","published":"2026-11-11T21:13:17.524Z","modified":"2026-11-11T21:13:17.524Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"Lenovo","name":"XClarity Controller","platforms":["64 bit","ARM"],"versions":[{"version":"IHX432Y","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"IHX436K","versionType":"custom"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","cpes":[],"source":"lenovo","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-81936"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp2273-lenovo-xclarity-controller-3-xcc3"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-81936","modified":"2026-11-11T21:13:17.524Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-81936"}],"assessments":[{"source":"lenovo","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":6.8},{"source":"lenovo","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":7.1}],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-11-11T21:23:01.303Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-11-15T00:40:33.739Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-11T21:25:32.968Z"}],"evidence":[],"aiSummary":{"text":"Lenovo ThinkSystem v4 XCC3 versions IHX432Y to IHX436K have a default OpenBMC root credential vulnerability after a reset to defaults, allowing access to administrative interfaces and the underlying operating system.
