CVE-2026-14501Network attack vector

Authenticated data modification via dangerous function use

Published Jul 17, 2026 · Updated Jul 17, 2026

Dangerous function use in IBM Db2 Genius Hub 1.1 through 1.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to alter data via network requests. IBM identifies insufficient restrictions on dangerous functions but does not disclose the function, code locus, accepted input, or operation performed on that input. Exploitation requires low-privileged network access and no user interaction, and IBM's assessment limits demonstrated impact to low-integrity modification.
