Summary
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 are affected by improper control of code generation in the HTTP Server Administration web application. The improper data sanitization lets a remote authenticated attacker obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the system (CWE-94). An attacker needs low privileges and no user interaction, and a successful attack can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity and availability.
