CVE-2020-4469

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.0 through 10.1.5 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. By using a specially crafted HTTP command, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary command on the system. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-4211. IBM X-Force ID: 181724.

CVSS
