CVE-2026-81545
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk57th percentile - higher than 57% of all known CVEs
Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the possibility of remote arbitrary command execution by an authenticated attacker, potentially leading to system integrity compromise. The attack requires authentication but can be performed remotely.
Recommendation
Apply patches provided by IBM for DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0. Restrict system access to trusted users only.
