High CVSS 8.5
CVE-2026-17179
NVD analysis in progress
IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service due to command injection.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can alter some data and take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- Unfiltered input reaches the system shell, letting the attacker run their own commands on the server.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score puts short-term exploitation in a middle band: neither negligible nor imminent.
