CVE-2024-54181

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.2)—

IBM WebSphere Automation 1.7.5 could allow a remote privileged user, who has authorized access to the swagger UI, to execute arbitrary code. Using specially crafted input, the user could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

CWE-78 (command injection) en servicio remoto con PR:H (privilegios requeridos). El acceso a Swagger UI autorizado + entrada manipulada permite ejecución arbitraria de código en el sistema.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
