This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Administrative Console Framework service. When parsing the password parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root.

CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. \"Affected Products and Versions\" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.\n\n## Document Location\n\nWorldwide\n\n[{\"Business Unit\":{\"code\":\"BU058\",\"label\":\"IBM Infrastructure w\\/TPS\"},\"Product\":{\"code\":\"SSNQFQ\",\"label\":\"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus\"},\"Component\":\"\",\"Platform\":[{\"code\":\"PF016\",\"label\":\"Linux\"}],\"Version\":\"10.1\",\"Edition\":\"\",\"Line of Business\":{\"code\":\"LOB26\",\"label\":\"Storage\"}}]", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 9.8, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2020-02-22T02:37:36", "type": "ibm", "title": "Security Bulletin: Command injection vulnerabilities in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus (CVE-2020-4210, CVE-2020-4213, CVE-2020-4222, CVE-2020-4212, CVE-2020-4211)", "bulletinFamily": "software", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 10.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "COMPLETE", "availabilityImpact": "COMPLETE", "integrityImpact": "COMPLETE", "baseScore": 10.0, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 10.0, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2020-4210", "CVE-2020-4211", "CVE-2020-4212", "CVE-2020-4213", "CVE-2020-4222"], "modified": "2020-02-22T02:37:36", "id": "76644EF44C638B2197356BD8AA0AA03DD908CDC799D2BE5BE1381523C5A24B65", "href": "https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/3178863", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}]}
