Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated tenant access and monitor for suspicious SSRF activity if possible. Avoid exposing sensitive internal services accessible via the ds-canvas pod network. Follow IBM's official guidance once published.
Description
CVE-2026-81207 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data version 5.4.0.0. An authenticated tenant without project membership or role can fully control the scheme, host, port, and path of an outbound fetch request from a shared-infrastructure pod. The vulnerability allows reflection of the WSDL body verbatim to the caller. The affected component runs on an OpenShift overlay with access to co-tenant services, in-cluster CP4D APIs, and link-local addresses. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality with high severity and integrity with low severity, with no impact on availability.
