IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 permits any network-accessible authenticated user to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands on the underlying host. The CWE-78 flaw stems from insufficient sanitization of user-controlled input before it is passed to a system shell call, and the CVSS 8.8 vector (PR:L) confirms exploitation does not require administrative privileges - any valid account suffices. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at minimum low-privilege access to IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 (PR:L per CVSS vector); unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) establishes a high-severity, low-complexity flaw with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - the only friction is the requirement for a valid authenticated session, which is a meaningful but low bar in enterprise environments with broad user populations. … 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 | Vendor-released patch is available per IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286562 - applying this fix is the primary and recommended remediation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
