Low-privilege authenticated user exploits IDOR over network with no interaction; scope changes to peer tenants' confidential log data, pure read-only impact.

3DescriptionCVE.org
IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 concatenates three caller-supplied strings into a String.format path on the shared /ds-storage RWX PVC and returns the file with no project ACL - pure IDOR plus traversal. Read is constrained to files named job.log/error.log, but DataStage job logs routinely carry connection strings, {dsnextenc} ciphertexts (decryptable via d2-f023), and customer-data row samples. This is the operator's tenant-to-tenant PVC-leakage threat verbatim; MEDIUM→HIGH via threat match.
AnalysisAI
Cross-tenant log file exposure in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 allows authenticated low-privilege tenant users to read any other tenant's job.log or error.log files from the shared /ds-storage ReadWriteMany PVC by supplying three manipulated path strings to a log-retrieval endpoint, with no project-level ACL enforcement. The read surface, though nominally constrained to files named job.log or error.log, is high-value in DataStage deployments: these logs routinely contain JDBC/ODBC connection strings, {dsnextenc}-format credential ciphertexts decryptable via the DataStage d2-f023 key, and sample customer data rows. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at minimum a low-privilege user account (PR:L) in an IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 deployment that hosts multiple tenants on a shared /ds-storage PVC. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.7 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H correctly captures the cross-tenant confidentiality threat: a low-privilege authenticated user with no elevated access can reach another tenant's logs over the network with no special exploitation technique - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in gniezno running a shared Cloud Pak for Data deployment should treat this as urgent, because job logs in DataStage routinely contain decryptable credential material that could pivot the attacker to downstream data sources. … 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 per IBM security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286562; the advisory confirms a fix is available though the exact patched version is not specified in the provided data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: verify which DataStage instances run version 5.4.0.0 and identify tenant overlap on shared storage; check audit logs for unauthorized cross-tenant log access. …
