Vulnerability from variot
IBM WebSphere MQ 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0, and 9.0 service trace module could be used to execute untrusted code under 'mqm' user. IBM X-Force ID: 132953. Vendors have confirmed this vulnerability IBM X-Force ID: 132953 It is released as.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. IBM WebSphere MQ is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges
