Impact

The vulnerability is an instance of SQL injection (CWE‑89) that allows a remote authenticated attacker to modify SQL tables within IBM i. Improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command permits the attacker to alter or delete records, thereby undermining the confidentiality and integrity of the database contents.

Affected Systems

IBM i releases 7.3 through 7.6 are affected. Users should apply the Product Fixes listed: SJ10870 for 7.3, SJ10869 for 7.4, SJ10868 for 7.5, and SJ10867 for 7.6, which contain the necessary corrections.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 places the vulnerability in the medium severity range. EPSS data is not available and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed exploitation yet. The flaw requires a remote authenticated session with IBM i, so it can be exploited in environments where database credentials are active but no further conditions are specified.
