Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable service, low complexity, and only low-privilege authentication (PR:L) needed; OS command execution grants full host C/I/A within the same security scope (S:U).

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 lets an authenticated remote attacker with only low-privilege credentials run arbitrary commands on the underlying host, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw requires network reachability to the DataStage service but no user interaction and no non-default configuration, so any valid low-privilege account is sufficient to attempt exploitation; the platform is a specialized enterprise deployment typically placed behind organizational access controls rather than exposed to the internet. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated account on IBM DataStage running on Cloud Pak for Data version 5.4.0.0, and network reachability to the DataStage service (AV:N, PR:L, UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity OS command injection (CWE-78) requiring only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - consistent with arbitrary command execution on the host. … 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 | IBM has released a fix for CVE-2026-80425; the vendor advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7288649 states that a patch is available, and the exact fixed build or interim fix level should be taken from that page (no specific version number is provided in the available data, so do not assume one). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, confirm whether DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 is deployed in your environment, identify which accounts hold access to the DataStage service, and verify that network reachability to that service is restricted to trusted internal segments rather than broadly exposed. …
