CVE-2026-81554
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk44th percentile - higher than 44% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to an absolute-path traversal vulnerability. The attacker can read files outside the permitted directory.
Risk Assessment
Confidential data, including configuration files and credentials, may be exposed. This increases the risk of further attacks on the environment.
Recommendation
Apply the IBM fix for Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 and verify file access permissions. Review logs for attempts to read paths outside the application directory.
