AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Remote authenticated low-privilege OS command injection with no user interaction gives PR:L/AV:N/AC:L; command execution escapes the component into the host, so S:C with full C/I/A impact.

IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in IBM AIX 7.2 and 7.3 and PowerVM VIOS 4.1 lets a remote, low-privileged authenticated attacker run arbitrary operating-system commands due to improper neutralization of special elements (CWE-78). IBM PSIRT rates it CVSS 9.9 with a scope change, reflecting that an authenticated foothold can be escalated into full host compromise across the confidentiality, integrity, and availability dimensions. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold valid low-privilege credentials and network reachability to the affected AIX or VIOS management/command interface (CVSS PR:L, AV:N, AC:L, UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are largely aligned toward high priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C, all impacts High) yields a 9.9 base score driven by network reach, low attack complexity, only low privileges required, no user interaction, and a scope change into the full OS. … 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 | Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixes IBM publishes in Support document https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283858 for AIX 7.2, AIX 7.3, and VIOS 4.1 (IBM typically ships these as APARs/iFixes tied to specific technology levels and service packs - install the iFix matching your installed TL/SP). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all IBM AIX 7.2, 7.3, and PowerVM VIOS 4.1 systems and restrict authenticated access to trusted administrator accounts with principle of least privilege, enforcing multi-factor authentication where supported. …
