IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to a race condition during the WebSocket handshake process.
AnalysisAI
A race condition in the IBM i WebSocket handshake process allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information on IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3. The flaw requires valid credentials and a precisely timed concurrent request pattern (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 4.2), so it is a low-severity, non-automatable issue rather than a mass-exploitation candidate. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) network reachability to an IBM i system that has WebSocket handshake handling enabled and exposed - if WebSocket services are not configured or not reachable, the flaw cannot be triggered; (2) valid authenticated access with at least low privileges (the CVSS vector specifies PR:L, so credentials are mandatory); and (3) the ability to generate concurrent, precisely interleaved handshake requests and win a timing window, which the CISA SSVC record marks as not automatable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals here are mutually consistent and point to low real-world priority. … 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 | Vendor-released fixes are available: IBM has published a patch advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286974, and administrators should apply the indicated PTF (program temporary fix) level for their IBM i release (7.3, 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6) as the primary remediation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
