CVE-2026-17182Network attack vector

Unauthenticated data access via URI path validation

Published Aug 14, 2026 · Updated Aug 14, 2026

Authentication bypass in IBM Db2 Mirror 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 allows remote attackers to read or alter sensitive data. The administrative GUI improperly validates URI path segments, allowing crafted request paths to reach protected operations without authentication. Network access to the GUI is sufficient; exposed operations can disclose or modify sensitive data, and IBM has not published endpoint-level details.
