IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information due to a path traversal vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in IBM AIX 7.2 and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 exposes sensitive files to remote, unauthenticated attackers over the network. The flaw (CWE-22) allows directory traversal sequences to escape an intended path boundary, enabling read access to files that should not be externally accessible. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable exploitation requiring no authentication and no user interaction, but high attack complexity - meaning the attacker must meet specific conditions beyond simply connecting to the host, such as a particular service being exposed, a non-default configuration, or a timing-dependent requirement. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.7 (Low) reflects a narrow realistic risk: the attack vector is network (AV:N) but attack complexity is high (AC:H), indicating the exploit is not straightforward and likely requires specific conditions such as race conditions, non-default service exposure, or precise request crafting. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP or network service request containing path traversal sequences (e.g., '../../etc/passwd') to an exposed AIX or VIOS service endpoint. If the service fails to normalize the path, it returns the contents of an out-of-bounds file to the attacker. … |
| Remediation | A patch is available from IBM per the vendor advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283858; administrators should consult that page to obtain the specific fix version for their AIX 7.2, 7.3, or PowerVM VIOS 4.1 deployment - exact patched version numbers are not independently confirmed from available data and should be verified directly against the IBM fix list. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
