Summary

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data from 5.4.0.0 is affected. Improper authorization (CWE-285) lets an unauthenticated user write arbitrary data into shared Redis under any tenant's key. This lets an anonymous caller poison any tenant's cached flow parameters and undermines the platform's credential-encryption boundary.
