Technical details
The vulnerability stems from insufficient escaping of connector property values when generating OSH (Orchestral Shell) scripts. An authenticated attacker can inject malicious code through connector properties that gets embedded into generated scripts without proper neutralization, leading to arbitrary code execution on the DataStage server. The attack requires valid authentication credentials but no additional user interaction.
