CVE-2026-82887Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via undisclosed OS command handling

Published Sep 18, 2026 · Updated Sep 18, 2026

OS command injection in IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. IBM identifies improper neutralization of OS-command elements but does not disclose the affected component, input field, or command-construction path. Reachability requires authenticated network access, and successful exploitation executes attacker-supplied commands on the Guardium appliance without user interaction.
