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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-81937 describes a command injection vulnerability in IBM Guardium Data Protection version 12.2. The flaw exists in the import remotelog_config file CLI command, where the filename parameter is not properly sanitized. An attacker with high-level authentication can inject arbitrary shell commands, which are executed with root privileges, allowing full control over the system.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a highly privileged authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands as root, compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could lead to full system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official remediation information is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the CLI command to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious activity involving the import remotelog_config command.
