Description states 'arbitrary files on the system'; if traversal is genuinely unconstrained, I:H and A:L better reflect realistic overwrite impact than the official I:L.

IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.5 could allow an authenticated user to send a specially crafted request to write arbitrary files on the system.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated path traversal in IBM Db2 11.5.x and 12.1.x allows a low-privileged database user to write arbitrary files to the underlying host filesystem via a specially crafted network request. The flaw (CWE-22) exploits insufficient pathname restriction in a Db2 request handler, enabling an attacker to place files outside intended directories - potentially overwriting configuration files, scripts, or other OS-level assets writable by the Db2 service account. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid Db2 user credential with at minimum low-privilege access to the targeted Db2 instance (CVSS PR:L confirmed). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The official CVSS base score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring only authenticated (low-privilege) access, with an integrity impact rated Low. … 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 patch available per IBM advisory 7286985 (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286985); apply the appropriate fix pack for Db2 11.5.x or 12.1.x as detailed in the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
