IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to an absolute-path traversal vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
Absolute path traversal in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker with low-level privileges to traverse the file system beyond intended boundaries and read sensitive information from the underlying host or container. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) indicates straightforward network exploitation requiring only a valid low-privilege account with no user interaction. …
