DescriptionCVE.org

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 IBM DataStage could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands due to improper neutralization of special characters in the PxPeek name property.

AnalysisAI

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 fails to neutralize special characters in the PxPeek name property, allowing an authenticated remote user to inject and execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the DataStage engine. The flaw carries a CVSS base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), reflecting full loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for a low-privileged authenticated attacker. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.8) describes a low-complexity, network-reachable attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with total impact to the vulnerable system but no scope change - so the blast radius is the DataStage engine host and its service account, not the entire cluster. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the IBM-supplied fix for DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 as documented in IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286562 - this is a vendor-issued patch and is the primary and preferred remediation; confirm the exact fixed build/service level in that advisory before declaring closure, since the input does not state a precise fix version string. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
