IBM Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere 10.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper output encoding in an CSV export. By persuading a victim to download the CSV export, to open it in Microsoft Excel and to confirm the two security questions, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to run any command or program on the victim's machine. IBM X-Force ID: 142651.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets a low-privileged remote attacker turn a CSV export from IBM Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere 10.0 into a code-execution risk when a victim opens it in Excel and accepts security prompts. Exposure is limited to IBM Robotic Process Automation with Automation Anywhere version 10.0. Risk is highest where untrusted or low-privileged users can influence exported CSV content and staff commonly open those exports in Microsoft Excel. Prioritize remediation for any remaining version 10.0 deployment because successful exploitation can execute commands on a user workstation. Urgency is high, but the attack path requires user interaction and specific Excel prompt acceptance. Mitigation focus: Identify any IBM RPA with Automation Anywhere 10.0 deployments.; Review IBM advisory and apply any vendor-provided fix or workaround.; Restrict CSV export access to trusted users until remediated..
