DescriptionCVE.org

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.1.2 through 5.3.0 returns sensitive information in an HTTP response that could be used to impersonate other users in the system.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data versions 5.1.2 through 5.3.0 expose sensitive information in HTTP responses that could allow attackers to impersonate legitimate users and gain unauthorized system access. Any organization running affected DataStage versions faces elevated risk of unauthorized data access and potential compliance violations.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall rules to sanitize HTTP responses and mask sensitive information in transit. Restrict network access to DataStage through firewall rules and VPN requirements. Enable TLS 1.2+ with certificate pinning. Increase monitoring and alerting for suspicious authentication attempts and session anomalies. Disable DataStage features exposing sensitive data until patch availability. Implement strict access controls and multi-factor authentication for DataStage administrative accounts.
