9.8

Hitachi · Cosminexus Component Container

A command argument injection vulnerability in Hitachi Cosminexus Component Container allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Executive summary

A critical command argument injection vulnerability in Hitachi Cosminexus Component Container allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve full system compromise.

Vulnerability

This flaw is an improper neutralization of argument delimiters (CWE-88) which permits an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary command arguments, leading to remote code execution.

Business impact

The CVSS score of 9.8 reflects the high potential for total system compromise, including unauthorized data access, modification, and denial of service. Successful exploitation poses a severe risk to business continuity and data integrity, as it provides an attacker with complete control over the affected application server.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Update the Hitachi Cosminexus Component Container to the fixed versions, specifically 11-70-03, 11-60-03, 11-20-10, or 09-87-10 as applicable to your specific deployment.

Proactive Monitoring: Review server and application logs for unusual command execution patterns or unexpected process spawns originating from the container environment.

Compensating Controls: Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules configured to detect and block suspicious command-line characters or argument injection attempts directed at the container interface.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: Unknown

Analyst recommendation

Given the critical CVSS severity of 9.8 and the lack of authentication required for exploitation, this vulnerability presents an immediate and severe risk. Administrators must prioritize the application of the vendor-supplied patches to eliminate the command injection vector and prevent unauthorized remote access to the underlying infrastructure.
