IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper validation of file paths.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 exposes sensitive filesystem content to remote authenticated attackers via improper validation of user-supplied file paths. The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) reflects network-accessible, low-complexity exploitation requiring only a low-privileged account, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability loss. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid low-privilege authenticated session on an IBM Db2 Mirror for i instance running version 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6, accessible over the network (AV:N, PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N indicates network reachability with low attack complexity, but the PR:L metric confirms a valid low-privileged account is required, meaningfully restricting opportunistic exposure to credentialed users of the system. … 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 vendor-supplied patch as documented in IBM's security bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283359; this is the authoritative source for exact PTF numbers and fix levels across Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
