CVE-2026-81669
HighCVSS 7.2Summary
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 is vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability in the create csr wildcard CLI command. An authenticated privileged CLI user can inject arbitrary shell commands through the alias input, resulting in command execution with root privileges.
Risk Assessment
Full system compromise is possible through arbitrary command execution as root. Only a privileged CLI account is required, posing a high risk to the organization.
Recommendation
Immediately install the fixes for IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 and restrict access to the privileged CLI interface to trusted administrators only.
