Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management, Rational Quality Manager, Rational Team Concert and Rational DOORS Next Generation (Testing Software) (version now known). This affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
