CVE-2026-14277: CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in IBM i Access Family
IBM i Access Family 1.1.2.0 through 1.1.9.15 could allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with normal user privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input in a session file.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM i Access Family versions 1.1.2.0 through 1.1.9.15 contain an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) where improper neutralization of special elements in user input allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary OS commands with normal user privileges. This occurs due to insufficient validation of input in a session file, potentially enabling command execution within the context of the affected system.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user can execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the normal user on the system. This could lead to limited unauthorized actions such as information disclosure, modification, or disruption of availability within the scope of the user's privileges. The impact is limited by the requirement for authentication and the execution context being normal user privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, restrict access to trusted authenticated users and monitor for suspicious activity related to session file handling.
