CVE-2023-27868
IBM Db2 JDBC Driver for Db2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unchecked class instantiation when providing plugin classes.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.63%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
