Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Command Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU88462
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27980
CWE-ID:
CWE-77 - Command injection
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync. An attacker can inject a malicious command line argument and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsIBM InfoSphere Information Server: before 11.7.1 Fix Pack 5

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?
The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
EUVDB-ID: #VU93880
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 5.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22020
CWE-ID:
CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling non-network imports in data URLs. A remote user can bypass network import restrictions and execute arbitrary code.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36138
CWE-ID:
CWE-77 - Command injection
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync on Windows. An attacker can inject a malicious command line argument and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU88462 (CVE-2024-27980).
