AI Analysis

Impact

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 contain an SSRF flaw that lets a remote authenticated user send requests to internal resources. The vulnerability can be used to read sensitive data that the API Connect instance has permission to access, potentially exposing confidential information to an attacker. The flaw is based on CWE‑918, which describes server‑side request forgery

Affected Systems

The impacted products are IBM API Connect for versions 10.0.8.0 to 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 to 12.1.1.2. IBM strongly recommends upgrading to the 10.0.8.13 release or the 12.1.1.3 release to eliminate the issue

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 indicates a high severity vulnerability. While the EPSS score is not available, the lack of listing in the CISA KEV catalog suggests the exploitation risk is not yet widely observed, but the requirement for authenticated access means that compromised or legitimate credentials can be abused. An attacker with valid credentials can exploit the SSRF to probe internal services, potentially exfiltrating sensitive data
