IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service due to improper authorization.
AnalysisAI
Improper authorization in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker with low-privilege credentials to cause a high-impact denial of service, with scope change indicating the disruption extends beyond the DataStage component into the broader Cloud Pak for Data platform. The root cause (CWE-285) indicates the authorization layer fails to enforce adequate access controls on operations that can disrupt service continuity, meaning any authenticated user may invoke privileged destructive actions without detection. …
