An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-27901 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-27901 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in IBM DB2 Recovery Expert for LUW, published on 17 Feb 2026. 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-2025-27901 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-2025-27901/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27901/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-27901","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27901/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-27901","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wrqj-g5w9-qq86"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM DB2 Recovery Expert","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit HTTP header injection in IBM DB2 Recovery Expert to perform cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, or session hijacking.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"db2_recovery_expert","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-644","name":"Improper Neutralization of HTTP Headers for Scripting Syntax"}],"description":"IBM DB2 Recovery Expert for LUW 5.5 Interim Fix 002 IBM Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, UNIX and Windows is vulnerable to HTTP header injection, caused by improper validation of input by the HOST headers.  This could allow an attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cross-site scripting, cache poisoning or session hijacking.","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-2025-27901","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2025-27902"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27900"},"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-2025-27904","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"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affecting Db2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows","id":"CVE-2025-27899","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-17"}],"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":"2026-02-17","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit HTTP header injection in IBM DB2 Recovery Expert to perform cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, or session hijacking.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27901/"}
