IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to arbitrarily write to or delete files on shared storage due to a path traversal vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 enables any remote authenticated low-privilege user to arbitrarily write to or delete files on the platform's shared storage layer. The flaw (CWE-22) allows user-controlled input to escape intended directory boundaries via sequences such as '../', bypassing storage isolation within the shared Cloud Pak for Data environment. …
