Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated, low-privileged account on IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 (PR:L) and the ability to submit an archive that the application will extract - the vulnerable code path is specifically the archive-extraction routine, so the attacker must be able to reach a feature that ingests and unpacks a user-supplied archive. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with the scope change and I:H pushing the base score to 9.1. … 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-provided fix referenced in IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286562 (Patch available per vendor advisory); consult that page for the exact fix pack / interim fix applicable to DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0, as an explicit fixed version string was not included in the input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
