Answer in brief
CVE-2026-17429 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in Power System Incorrect Authorization. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps IBM/Power Firmware (generic), IBM/Power Systems Firmware (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

IBM Power Systems Firmware FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, FW1060.00 through FW1060.80, FW950.00 through FW950.H2, OP940.00 through OP940.a1 (Power9), and OP940.00 - OP940.81 (Power HMC) is affected by a vulnerability in the interface between the BMC/FSP and the host system. An attacker with service account or root access to the BMC/FSP can write arbitrary data to hardware control registers, allowing full control over the host system and all hosted partitions, resulting in a confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
