IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Base score: 7.5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.85%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 57
Score date: 10/5/2026

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).
