CVE-2023-27859

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—

IBM Db2 10.1, 10.5, and 11.1 could allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code caused by installing like named jar files across multiple databases. A user could exploit this by installing a malicious jar file that overwrites the existing like named jar file in another database. IBM X-Force ID: 249205.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
