CVE-2026-80379
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk59th percentile - higher than 59% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 does not properly neutralize special elements used in OS commands. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands.
Risk Assessment
Arbitrary OS command execution by an authenticated attacker can lead to full server compromise and loss of data confidentiality.
Recommendation
Immediately apply the fix for IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data and verify that untrusted data is not passed into OS commands.
