IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
AnalysisAI
Local OS command injection in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary system commands, achieving full system compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability all at High). The vulnerability stems from insufficient neutralization of shell metacharacters in OS command construction (CWE-78). …
