An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-27899 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM DB2 Recovery Expert for LUW. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27899/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27899/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-27899","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27899/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-27899","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wm8j-hgw9-h534"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM DB2 Recovery Expert","requires_auth":"none","summary":"IBM DB2 Recovery Expert discloses sensitive information via environment variables, potentially aiding further attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"db2_recovery_expert","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-526","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in an Environment Variable"}],"description":"IBM DB2 Recovery Expert for LUW 5.5 Interim Fix 002 discloses sensitive information in an environment variable that could aid in further attacks against the system.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27899","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27900"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27898"},"products":["DB2 Recovery Expert for LUW"],"published":"2026-02-17","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27900","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27901","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-17"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-17"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27903","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-17"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"IBM Db2 Recovery Expert Missing Integrity Check","id":"CVE-2026-3856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-03-06","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"IBM DB2 Recovery Expert discloses sensitive information via environment variables, potentially aiding further attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27899/"}
