Hi @sohbinong,

As mentioned in the article provided, these vulnerabilities are addressed in Cognos Version 11.1.7 Fix Pack 7. This version is included as part of FNMS 2023 R1. This version of Cognos Analytics also introduces support for TLS 1.2 and SQL Server 2019.

There are no updates to the 11.0.13 version of Cognos, which is the version that was used with recent versions of FNMS prior to 2023 R1.
