IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to path traversal.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated path traversal in IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 can be leveraged by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected deployment, producing a vendor CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 from the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Per that vector the flaw requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration, so the only practical barrier is network reachability of the exposed Guardium interface; because the product is normally deployed inside segmented enterprise networks, internet-wide exposure is expected to be limited. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Per the vendor CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is documented as required - exploitation targets a network-reachable instance of IBM Guardium Data Protection versions 12.0, 12.1, or 12.2. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All CVSS signals point to a worst-case profile: the vendor vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H scores 9.8, meaning network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation (PR:N) with no user interaction and full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … 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 | Patch status is 'Patch available per vendor advisory' - IBM has published a remediation at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7291674, and the exact fixed build or interim fix for the 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 streams must be taken from that page rather than inferred from the wildcarded CPE. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every IBM Guardium Data Protection deployment at versions 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2, determine which instances are reachable from untrusted or non-administrative networks, and restrict that exposure to trusted administrative segments through firewall or access-control changes; simultaneously check Guardium and perimeter logging for anomalous path traversal patterns against the affected interface. …
