CVE-2025-36372 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-06-30

IBM Db2, a widely used enterprise database management system, is affected by a vulnerability that could allow an authorized user to view sensitive information they should not have access to. By querying specific monitoring and event tables, a user with local access to the system can retrieve internal data. This could lead to the exposure of confidential business information or system metadata, though it does not allow the attacker to modify data or crash the service.
