CVE-2025-36245Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via improper input validation

Published Sep 29, 2025 · Updated Sep 29, 2025

OS command injection in IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute elevated commands. IBM has not identified the affected component or disclosed how it incorporates user-supplied input into an operating-system command without neutralization. Low-privileged network access is sufficient, and successful exploitation compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability with no user interaction.
