IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) 11.5.0 through 11.5.9 and 12.1.0 through 12.1.3 is vulnerable to an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.30%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
