DescriptionNVD

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information and bypass security restrictions due to a race condition.

AnalysisAI

Remote authenticated exploitation of a race condition in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows attackers with low-privilege credentials to obtain sensitive information and bypass platform security restrictions. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) indicates the flaw is reachable over the network without user interaction, though authentication is required. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid IBM i user account with at minimum low-privilege credentials - the CVSS PR:L metric confirms authentication is mandatory and unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 6.3 Medium score is grounded in three moderate signals: network reachability, low-privilege authentication requirement, and bounded Low-level impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … 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 The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-released patch referenced in IBM's support advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283292. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
