Severity by source

Missing authentication makes it network-reachable and unauthenticated (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); impact is integrity and availability with no confidentiality exposure (C:N/I:H/A:H).
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service and affect data integrity due to missing authentication for critical functions.
AnalysisAI
Remote denial of service and data integrity compromise in IBM i (formerly OS/400) releases 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 stems from a critical function that ships without an authentication check (CWE-306), letting a network attacker invoke it without credentials. IBM has released a fix, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.36% (29th percentile), indicating no observed exploitation pressure yet.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the vulnerable IBM i service exposing the critical function - no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H (9.1 Critical) describes a low-complexity, remote, unauthenticated attack with high integrity and availability impact but no confidentiality exposure - internally consistent with a missing-authentication DoS/tamper flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the IBM-provided fix per the vendor bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285847 (Patch available per vendor advisory), which supplies PTFs/Group PTF updates for the supported IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 releases - apply the correct PTF level for your installed release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
