CVE-2026-82098
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk54th percentile - higher than 54% of all known CVEs
Summary
IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands. The cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with a valid account can take control of the application server and run arbitrary operations. This may lead to data leakage, file modification, and lateral movement within the network.
Recommendation
Apply the IBM fix for Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 as soon as possible and limit the number of accounts with DataStage access. Review logs for unusual OS command invocations.
