CVE-2025-36372: CWE-538 Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or Directory in IBM Db2
IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) could disclose sensitive information to an authenticated user from the monitoring and event tables.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM Db2 versions 11.5.0 through 11.5.9 and 12.1.0 through 12.1.4 contain a vulnerability identified as CWE-538, where sensitive information is inserted into externally accessible files or directories. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive data to authenticated users through monitoring and event tables. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting a medium severity with local attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact without integrity or availability impact. No official remediation level or patch is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with low privileges can access sensitive information from monitoring and event tables that should not be externally accessible. This disclosure impacts confidentiality but does not affect data integrity or system availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the IBM vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated user access to monitoring and event tables to trusted personnel only. Monitor IBM advisories for updates on patches or official mitigations.
