Fact-check summary

Verified by quality watch 2026-10-12 18:29 AST against NVD CVE-2026-90920 (received 22:17Z Oct 12; CNA psirt@us.ibm.com, CVSS 3.1 9.8 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, CWE-94) and IBM bulletin node 7290833 (lists CVE-2026-90920, IBM score 9.8; affected 9.1.0/9.2.0; fixed in 9.1.19 / 9.2.3; no workarounds). The checker's 'no NVD record' hold was a false positive: the record was minutes old. Edits before publish: added fix versions, removed overstated 'only' and 'full control' wording, score attributed to IBM PSIRT.

2 caveats
  • ▲No matching CVE found in NVD or IBM security bulletins; similar CVEs reference unrelated issues.
  • ▲CVE-2026-90920 does not appear in any search results or NVD; IBM rates the flaw 9.8; root cause improper control of code generation; specific mitigation URL for this CVE
