QID 376108: IBM MQ Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability (6513983)

IBM MQ is a message oriented middleware that allows independent and non-concurrent applications on a distributed system to communicate with each other.

Eclipse could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by the failure to authenticate active help requests to the local help web server.

Affected Version:
IBM MQ 9.0.0, 9.1.0, 9.2.0

QID Detection Logic: (Authenticated)
Operating System: Linux
The QID runs the command "/opt/mqm/bin/dspmqver -v | grep -A3 '^Name'" and "/usr/mqm/bin/dspmqver -v | grep -A3 '^Name'" (for AIX only) to see if the system is running a vulnerable version of IBM MQ or not.
Operating System: Windows
It checks for vulnerable IBM MQ/WebSphere MQ versions.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to issue active help commands to the associated Eclipse Platform process or Eclipse Rich Client Platform process.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.8 severity.
