Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-accessible service requires only a valid low-privilege credential (PR:L); no elevated permissions needed; full OS-level impact justifies C:H/I:H/A:H with no scope change.

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
Remote authenticated OS command injection in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 enables a network-accessible low-privileged user to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying host. The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) confirms that any authenticated DataStage account - including data engineers or analysts, not just administrators - can trigger full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the affected component. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged DataStage user account on the affected IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 instance - any authenticated role capable of submitting job parameters or pipeline configurations is sufficient (PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 rating reflects a realistic, high-priority threat: network-reachable (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), low-privilege authenticated (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), with full impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). … 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 | Apply the vendor-released patch detailed in IBM Security Bulletin https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286562 as the primary remediation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data instances running version 5.4.0.0 and review recent audit and system command logs for suspicious activity or unauthorized access attempts from DataStage-authenticated users; immediately restrict network access to affected systems to essential operational personnel only. …
