DescriptionNVD

IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to the ability to disable server-side input validation via a request parameter.

AnalysisAI

IBM Db2 Mirror for i versions 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 expose a security bypass whereby a remote low-privilege authenticated attacker can disable server-side input validation by supplying a specific request parameter, then submit otherwise-rejected malicious input. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure), meaning a core defensive control can be switched off at the attacker's discretion rather than enforced by the server. …
