IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 IBM DataStage could allow a remote authenticated attacker to read, write, or delete arbitrary files due to a path traversal vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
A path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 lets an authenticated remote user manipulate file paths to read, write, or delete arbitrary files on the host. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), reflecting high confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact, so valid credentials are a prerequisite. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated account on IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 (CVSS PR:L, confirmed by the supplied vector) with the ability to invoke a DataStage feature that accepts a user-controlled file path - typically job execution parameters, asset/file APIs, or data-source definitions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are mixed and should be read carefully. … 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 fix referenced from IBM Support node 7286562 (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286562); the supplied data confirms a patch is available from IBM but does not state an exact fix version, so confirm the target release and any prerequisite interim fix on that page before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
