However, DB2 does not support this type of UDT. The FDOCA 0x50 type is never sent by a legitimate DB2 server.\n\n\n\nNevertheless, a malicious or man-in-the-middle DRDA server could craft a response with a 0x50-tagged column, causing the client to deserialize arbitrary attacker-controlled bytes on the Vert.x event loop before any application code can inspect or reject the data. If a Java deserialization gadget chain is present on the application's classpath, this enables remote code execution. Without a gadget chain, denial of service is possible via crafted object graphs. TLS is disabled by default, making man-in-the-middle exploitation feasible.\n\n\n\nThe impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-db2-client.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-15T08:11:33.465+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T14:28:47.479+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Eclipse Vert.x","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Eclipse Foundation\",\n                    \"product\": \"Eclipse Vert.x\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"4.0.0\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"4.5.34\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"5.0.0\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.0.12\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"5.1.0\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.1.9\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"5.2.0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":9.2,"severity":"CRITICAL"}],"references":["https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vertx-sql-client/security/advisories/GHSA-j4vf-w939-pgxf","https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignment/-/work_items/347"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-102469","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-102469","identifiers":["CVE-2026-102469"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
