DescriptionNVD

IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service due to command injection.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in IBM Db2 Mirror for i versions 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 enables remote authenticated attackers to trigger a denial of service condition that extends beyond the vulnerable component due to a scope change (S:C per CVSS vector). The flaw, rooted in CWE-78 improper neutralization of OS command elements, requires only low-privilege credentials and no user interaction to exploit over the network. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated account (PR:L per CVSS vector) on the targeted IBM i system or one with network access to the Db2 Mirror service interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.5 (High) score reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege credentials, with a scope change driving the elevated score. … 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 IBM has released a patch addressing this vulnerability; organizations should consult the official advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283359 for the specific fix version and installation guidance, as an exact patched version number was not independently confirmed from available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, enumerate all systems running Db2 Mirror for i versions 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6 and verify network access is restricted to administrative users only. …
