CVE-2026-81937
HighCVSS 7.2Summary
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 is vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability in the import remotelog_config file CLI command. A highly privileged authenticated user can inject shell commands through the filename parameter, potentially resulting in arbitrary command execution with root privileges and impact to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Risk Assessment
Exploitation can lead to arbitrary command execution with root privileges, threatening the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. It requires high privileges, but the impact is critical.
Recommendation
Apply the vendor patch for IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 as soon as possible and restrict access to the import remotelog_config CLI command.
