Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
CVE description explicitly states 'remote authenticated attacker,' warranting PR:L over NVD's PR:N; path traversal yields read-only file access so I:N and A:N.

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 limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory.
AnalysisAI
Sensitive file disclosure in IBM Db2 Mirror for i versions 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 is possible through a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) that allows attackers to escape a restricted directory boundary and read files outside the intended accessible path, resulting in high confidentiality impact. The CVE description attributes the exposure to a remote authenticated attacker, though this conflicts with the NVD-assigned CVSS vector - a discrepancy security teams must resolve before finalizing triage. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The CVE description explicitly restricts the threat actor to a 'remote authenticated attacker,' implying valid credentials to IBM Db2 Mirror for i are a prerequisite - however, this directly contradicts the NVD CVSS vector (PR:N), and the correct authentication requirement is not independently confirmed from the available advisory text. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N signals a network-exploitable, low-complexity flaw with high confidentiality impact - however, a material discrepancy exists: the NVD-assigned vector sets PR:N (no authentication required) while the CVE description explicitly limits the threat actor to a 'remote authenticated attacker.' This conflict is operationally significant because it determines whether the vulnerability is exploitable pre-authentication and therefore whether it can be mass-targeted; security teams must verify the correct requirement against the full IBM advisory text at node/7283359 before using the raw CVSS score to prioritize remediation. … 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 | A vendor-released patch is confirmed available from IBM per the support advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283359. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
