IBM Documentation Offline 1.0.0 through 1.4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper control of file paths.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in IBM Documentation Offline 1.0.0 through 1.4.1 allows an attacker to run arbitrary code by abusing improper control of file paths (CWE-73). The flaw is reachable over the network without authentication or user interaction per the vendor-assigned CVSS 9.8 vector, giving an attacker full read/write/execution impact on the host. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The concrete prerequisite is network reachability of the IBM Documentation Offline service running an affected version (1.0.0-1.4.1); per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) there is no authentication or user-interaction requirement, indicating remote unauthenticated exploitation against reachable instances. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) describes a worst-case, network-reachable, unauthenticated RCE with low attack complexity, which on its face warrants urgent prioritization. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the Documentation Offline service over the network sends a crafted request containing a manipulated file path that the application fails to validate, causing a file to be written or executed outside its intended directory and resulting in arbitrary code execution on the host. Because the CVSS vector indicates no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) with low complexity, this can be attempted directly against an exposed instance. … |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade IBM Documentation Offline to the fixed release identified in IBM's security bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283484 (an exact fixed version number is not included in the available data and should be confirmed from that advisory before deployment). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all systems running IBM Documentation Offline 1.0.0 through 1.4.1 and isolate or restrict network access until patching is complete. …
