DescriptionNVD

IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary CL commands due to improper neutralization of special elements in a command.

AnalysisAI

Remote CL command execution in IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 lets a remote attacker run arbitrary Control Language commands on the IBM i host because special elements in a command are not properly neutralized (CWE-78). The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8 with a fully network-facing, no-privilege, no-interaction vector, meaning an unauthenticated remote attacker can achieve high-impact code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerable condition is reachability of the Db2 Mirror for i replication/management service over the network on an IBM i host running version 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6, where an attacker-supplied value flows into a Control Language command that is not neutralized. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals here are strong but not maximal. … 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 Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the IBM-supplied fix (PTFs/group updates) for your affected Db2 Mirror for i release as documented at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283359, following the version-specific instructions for 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 - the input confirms a vendor patch exists but does not specify exact PTF identifiers, so obtain the precise fix level from that advisory rather than an assumed version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all systems running IBM Db2 Mirror for i versions 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6, assess network exposure, and restrict access to trusted networks only as an interim control. …
