CVE-2024-45675 Dec 02, 03:16 HIGH This Week

Local privilege escalation in IBM Informix Dynamic Server 14.10 allows a user who already holds a low-privilege account on the database host to log into the Informix server as administrator without supplying a password, giving full control over the database engine and its data. The issue is strictly local - the assessed CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 7.8 High) requires pre-existing access to the host and no user interaction, so it is not remotely exploitable and cannot be triggered against a system the attacker cannot already log into. Risk signals point to a genuine but locally-scoped flaw rather than a remote emergency: EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile), the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
