IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 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 DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 allows an authenticated remote attacker holding low-privilege credentials to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying system, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands (CWE-78), and exploitation requires a valid authenticated session plus reachability of the specific DataStage feature that passes user-supplied input into a shell command; no user interaction is needed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a valid authenticated session on IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 at low privilege (PR:L) reachable over the network (AV:N); no user interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk artifact. … 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 status: Patch available per vendor advisory - IBM has published a fix through the advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7288649, and affected deployments of DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 should be updated to the vendor-designated fixed level as soon as possible; because the supplied data does not include an exact fix-pack version number, confirm the target release directly in the IBM advisory before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 deployments and assess exposure to untrusted networks; apply the vendor patch immediately where feasible, prioritizing internet-facing or high-value environments. …
