# IBM i: authenticated user can indirectly disable system auditing

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-102618 (this .md is for agents)

IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 let a logged-in user indirectly turn off system auditing, a control they lack authority to change directly. An attacker could hide later activity from audit logs.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Run `GO CMDSEC` or check the IBM i release with `DSPPTF` / `GETVERSION` (unknown exact command from sources)
- Confirm the installed release is one of 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 or 7.6 from the sources

## From the sources

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow an authenticated user to indirectly disable system auditing, which they otherwise don't have authority to disable.
