IBM Db2 on Windows 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 may be vulnerable to a privilege escalation caused by at least one installed service using an unquoted service path. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges by inserting an executable file in the path of the affected service. IBM X-Force ID: 249194.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
