IBM i 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 is vulnerable to a privilege escalation caused by an invalid database authority check. A bad actor could execute a database procedure or function without having all required permissions, in addition to causing denial of service for some database actions.
The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.
