DescriptionNVD

IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) could disclose sensitive information to an authenticated user from the monitoring and event tables.

AnalysisAI

IBM Db2 versions 11.5.0-11.5.9 and 12.1.0-12.1.4 expose sensitive information through internal monitoring and event tables to authenticated low-privilege local users, a consequence of CWE-538 where sensitive data is inserted into storage locations accessible beyond the intended trust boundary. The CVSS vector confirms local-only attack surface (AV:L) with low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and high confidentiality impact, making this most relevant to insider threat scenarios or post-compromise lateral movement in multi-tenant Db2 environments. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

IBM Db2 is an enterprise-grade relational database management system (RDBMS) deployed broadly on Linux, UNIX, and Windows, including Db2 Connect Server configurations that broker connectivity between clients and mainframe or distributed databases. The affected component is Db2's internal monitoring and event infrastructure - specifically the monitoring (MON_) and event tables used for diagnostics, performance tracking, and database telemetry. CWE-538 (Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or Directory) identifies the root cause class: sensitive artifacts - potentially including SQL query text, connection parameters, authentication tokens, or configuration details - are written into these tables without adequate access controls, making them visible to authenticated users beyond the intended administrative trust boundary. The scope is limited to the vulnerable system (S:U), with no lateral propagation to adjacent systems implied by the CVSS vector.

RemediationAI

Consult the IBM support advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7277417 for the official patch; an exact fixed version number was not included in the available intelligence and should be confirmed directly from IBM. Patch available per vendor advisory. As a compensating control pending patch application, use Db2 GRANT/REVOKE DDL to restrict SELECT access on monitoring and event tables (MON_ table functions and event monitor tables) to only DBADM or SYSADM roles, preventing low-privilege users from querying them. Review existing access using SYSCAT.TABAUTH to identify over-permissioned grantees. Note that restricting monitoring table access may break third-party monitoring tools or DBA scripts that depend on querying those tables under a service account - audit tool dependencies before applying access controls.
