Summary

Code for IBMi prior to 3.0.1 accepts IBMi components without integrity verification, allowing a local account to modify programs and execute them under the connecting user's account.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can achieve unauthorized code execution in another user's context.

Recommendation

Update the Code for IBMi extension to version 3.0.1 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

Code for IBMi is a Visual Studio Code extension for maintaining and compiling ILE languages on the IBMi platform. Prior to 3.0.1, IBMi components implementing IBMiComponent were accepted after checking that a procedure existed without reliably verifying component integrity. Components installed with broad public permissions allow another local account to alter a program such as GETMBRINFO. A later connection can execute the altered program under the connecting account because the LONG_COMMENT marker alone does not establish integrity. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.1.
