CVE-2026-17079Network attack vector

Authenticated restriction bypass via validation-disabling request parameter

Published Aug 14, 2026 · Updated Aug 14, 2026

Protection mechanism failure in IBM Db2 Mirror releases 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 allows remote authenticated users to bypass GUI restrictions. The GUI accepts a request parameter that disables server-side input validation, but IBM has not disclosed the parameter, endpoint, or rejected input class. A valid product account is required; exploitation affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but IBM has not specified the permitted operations.
