Exploitation Conditions

The available sources identify only a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in HiRDB Server; they do not name the specific feature, protocol, SAPI, listener, or configuration setting that must be reachable, nor is the input vector described - the trigger is not described in the available sources. The supplied CVSS (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) implies remote, unauthenticated, no-interaction exploitation against an affected HiRDB instance, but this is not confirmed by the description and should be validated against the Hitachi advisory. Limiting factors in practice: HiRDB is a database server typically deployed behind network segmentation and authentication, so exposure depends on whether the vulnerable interface is network-reachable by the attacker; affected builds are HiRDB Server Version 10 (10-00 before 10-12-01), Version 9 (09-00 through 09-66-22), Version 9 with Additional Function (09-00 through 09-66/V), Version 9(32) (09-02 through 09-66-22), and Version 9(32) with Additional Function (09-00 through 09-66-/V) - other versions are not in scope.

Impact

Signals are mixed. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) rates this critical: network-reachable, low-complexity, no privileges or user interaction, with full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact - a worst-case profile for a database server. The vuln.today decision label is 'act_now' and a vendor patch is available, which argues for prompt remediation. However, the exploitation-likelihood signals are modest: EPSS is only 0.52% (44th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code or PoC reference is present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. The flaw is CWE-121 (stack-based buffer overflow), but the description gives no trigger detail - the mechanism, the affected protocol/interface, and whether the overflow is reachable pre-authentication are not described in the available sources. This matters because the PR:N in the supplied CVSS implies unauthenticated reach, yet HiRDB is a database server that commonly sits behind authentication and network segmentation; the gap between a theoretical AV:N/PR:N rating and HiRDB's typical deployment should be verified against the Hitachi advisory (hitachi-sec-2026-147). Net: treat as a high-priority patch per the 'act_now' label and the critical CVSS, but note that current exploitation probability is low and the unauthenticated-remote assumption is not independently confirmed by the description.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker with network access to an exposed HiRDB server sends crafted input to the vulnerable interface, overflowing a stack buffer (CWE-121) and corrupting the stack to achieve code execution or a crash. Per the supplied CVSS this would require no authentication or user interaction and low attack complexity, yielding full compromise of the database host. No public exploit or PoC is identified in the provided data, and the exact trigger is not described in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in Hitachi HiRDB Server can corrupt memory and, per the supplied CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8), is scored as remotely reachable by an unauthenticated attacker with no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. Affected builds are HiRDB Server Version 10 (10-00 before 10-12-01), Version 9 (09-00 through 09-66-22), Version 9 with Additional Function (09-00 through 09-66/V), Version 9(32) (09-02 through 09-66-22) and Version 9(32) with Additional Function (09-00 through 09-66-/V); EPSS is low at 0.52% (44th percentile) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, although the vuln.today decision label is act_now and Hitachi has published an advisory with a vendor patch available.

RemediationAI

Hitachi has released a fix: patch availability is stated by the vendor, and the Version 10 affected range ends before 10-12-01, identifying 10-12-01 as the fixed release on that branch. The provided data does not name a fixed release number for the Version 9, Version 9 with Additional Function, Version 9(32) or Version 9(32) with Additional Function branches, so the target upgrade level for those lines must be taken from the vendor advisory at https://www.hitachi.com/products/it/software/security/info/vuls/hitachi-sec-2026-147/index.html before scheduling the upgrade. Until the upgrade is applied, exposure is governed by whether the vulnerable HiRDB interface is reachable from untrusted networks; the sources do not identify which interface is affected, so validating reachability against the advisory is a prerequisite for any interim restriction.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause class is CWE-121, stack-based buffer overflow: an unchecked or incorrectly bounded copy of attacker-influenced data into a fixed-size stack buffer in the HiRDB server process, which can overwrite adjacent stack memory such as saved return addresses or local state. The CPE entries enumerate the affected product families precisely - hitachi:hirdb_server_version_10, hirdb_server_version_9, hirdb_server_with_additional_function_version_9, hirdb_server_version_9(32) and hirdb_server_with_additional_function_version_9(32) - identifying HiRDB as an enterprise relational database server, which in practice is usually deployed behind network segmentation and database authentication. The available sources do not name the specific feature, protocol, SAPI, listener or configuration setting that must be reachable, and the trigger is not described in the available sources; the unauthenticated remote characterization derives from the supplied CVSS vector rather than from the description, and should be validated against the Hitachi advisory.

This issue affects HiRDB Server Version 10: from 10-00 before 10-12-01; HiRDB Server Version 9: from 09-00 through 09-66-22; HiRDB Server with Additional Function Version 9: from 09-00 through 09-66/V; HiRDB Server Version 9(32): from 09-02 through 09-66-22; HiRDB Server with Additional Function Version 9(32): from 09-00 through 09-66-/V.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical memory corruption vulnerability in Hitachi HiRDB Server, versions 9 and 10, could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to fully compromise the database server's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploit has been identified, the potential for remote, unauthenticated takeover of a core data platform poses a significant risk to organizational data and operations.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
