[Verse 1]
IBM i systems, versions seven-point-three through six
August twenty, twenty-twenty-six, they found the cracks and splits
CVE-2026-17197, CVSS eight-point-one
Client-asserted identity — the validation wasn't done
A remote attacker whispers "trust me, I'm someone I'm not"
The system nods and opens up, security forgot
[Chorus]
IBM i is under siege, patch it or bleed
Three critical flaws in the stack, patch it with speed
Eight-point-six, eight-point-one — numbers don't lie
Bypass, overflow, injection — your data could die
CVEs in the queue, read them and act
No second chances when attackers have the map
[Verse 2]
CVE-2026-16815, score of eight-point-six
A stack-based buffer overflow is deep inside the mix
The attacker floods the memory, more data than the cup
Denial of service crashes down and sensitive info leaks up
Like pouring concrete in a thimble, pressure cracks the mold
Your server drops, your secrets spill out into the cold
[Chorus]
IBM i is under siege, patch it or bleed
Three critical flaws in the stack, patch it with speed
Eight-point-six, eight-point-one — numbers don't lie
Bypass, overflow, injection — your data could die
CVEs in the queue, read them and act
No second chances when attackers have the map
[Verse 3]
CVE-2026-16867, NTLM session talks
Negotiation goes sideways, the attacker quietly walks
Authenticated privileges borrowed without consent
Accessing server resources like the password was just lent
Impersonation dressed in someone else's badge and coat
Slipping through authentication like a forged handwritten note
[Bridge]
And sixteen-nine-six-one, SQL injection bites
Seven-point-six CVSS, crafted queries in the night
Add and view and modify, delete what you can't see
IBM i 7.4 through 7.6, nobody moves for free
Every version listed here needs patches verified
Don't wait for exploitation — get ahead before they tried
[Chorus]
IBM i is under siege, patch it or bleed
Three critical flaws in the stack, patch it with speed
Eight-point-six, eight-point-one — numbers don't lie
Bypass, overflow, injection — your data could die
CVEs in the queue, read them and act
No second chances when attackers have the map
[Outro]
Seventeen-one-nine-seven — validate who's knocking
Sixteen-eight-fifteen — check your buffers, no more blocking
Sixteen-eight-six-seven — NTLM, tighten the chain
Sixteen-nine-six-one — SQL, sanitize your lane
August twenty, twenty-twenty-six, the advisories dropped
IBM i administrators — make sure the threat gets stopped
