IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to predictable server seeds.
AnalysisAI
Security restriction bypass in IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 enables remote authenticated attackers to circumvent platform-level access controls by exploiting predictable server-generated seed values (CWE-330). The vulnerability stems from insufficient entropy in IBM i's seed generation process, allowing an attacker with a valid low-privilege account to predict protected values - such as session tokens, nonces, or challenge-response material - and leverage them to bypass enforced security boundaries. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires possession of a valid IBM i user account with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS) - unauthenticated remote exploitation is not indicated by the vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) places this in the moderate range - significant enough for prioritized patching in high-value environments but not immediately catastrophic. … 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 | IBM has released a patch, accessible via the support advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285844. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
