CVE-2026-17222: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to modify data in certain SQL tables due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 contain an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) where special elements used in SQL commands are not properly neutralized. This flaw enables a remote attacker with authentication privileges to alter data in specific SQL tables. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating medium severity, with low attack complexity and requiring privileges but no user interaction. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available to confirm remediation status.
Potential Impact
An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to modify data in certain SQL tables on affected IBM i systems. The confidentiality and availability of the system are not impacted, but data integrity can be compromised. There is no evidence of known exploits in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to authenticated users and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL commands.
