Critical CVSS 9.9
CVE-2026-17186
IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary CL commands due to improper neutralization of special elements in a command.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some data, 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 stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
