Critical CVSS 9.3
CVE-2026-17181
IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to write files to arbitrary locations due to path traversal.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can modify or destroy data and degrade the service. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- An attacker-supplied file path is not confined, letting them read or write outside the intended folder.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
