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-2026-16905 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Db2 Mirror for i. 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-2026-16905/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16905/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16905","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16905/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16905","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j7xj-v45c-v97f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Db2 Mirror","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote authenticated attacker can obtain sensitive information due to improper authentication in IBM Db2 Mirror for i.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"db2_mirror_for_i","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-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper authentication.","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":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-16905","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Domain Name System","id":"CVE-2026-16906"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM i is Affected By improper privilege management in Navigator for i","id":"CVE-2026-16904"},"products":["Db2 Mirror for i"],"published":"2026-08-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-17186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-17182","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-17184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is vulnerable to OS command injection []","id":"CVE-2026-16956","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-17181","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-16879","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-17179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"}],"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":"2026-08-17","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A remote authenticated attacker can obtain sensitive information due to improper authentication in IBM Db2 Mirror for i.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16905/"}
