Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-16338 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-16338 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Ibm Datastage on Cloud Pak for Data, published on 14 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16338 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Datastage on Cloud Pak for Data. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16338/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16338/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16338","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16338/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16338","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9p83-pgmg-hprg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM DataStage CP4D","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can perform arbitrary file writes in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data due to improper path validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"datastage_on_cloud_pak_for_data","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 IBM DataStage could allow a remote authenticated attacker to perform an arbitrary file write due to improper validation of file paths.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data has several vulnerabilities due to open source software","id":"CVE-2026-16338","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:datastage_on_cloud_pak_for_data","products":["ibm:datastage_on_cloud_pak_for_data"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2026-16339"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in dotCMS","id":"CVE-2026-16337"},"products":["DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data"],"published":"2026-09-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data has several vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-16346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-82101","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-12"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-82103","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-12"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-82110","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-12"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data has several vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-81549","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-24"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data has several vulnerabilities due to open source software","id":"CVE-2026-82100","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-14","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can perform arbitrary file writes in IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data due to improper path validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16338/"}
