Impact

IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 contain a flaw that allows an authenticated attacker to access sensitive data due to improper authorization checks. The vulnerability can expose configuration details, credentials, or other privileged information that should be protected by role‑based access controls.

Affected Systems

The affected products are IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 to 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 to 12.1.1.2. Administrators should verify that their installations match these version ranges and determine whether they are running a vulnerable release.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 indicates high severity, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though EPSS data is not available. An attacker requires valid credentials to the API Connect platform, after which the flawed authorization logic permits reading of data beyond the attacker’s scope. The lack of an EPSS score suggests no publicly known exploits yet, but the high impact justifies immediate action. The likely attack vector is authenticated API calls made with compromised or weak credentials, leading to data disclosure.

Vendor Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading to v12.1.1.3 Fix Central Link: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7290205 IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading to 10.0.8.13Fix Central Link: https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm%7EWebSphere&product=ibm/WebSphere/IBM+API+Connect&release=10.0.8.12&platform=All&function=all


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official IBM patch by upgrading to IBM API Connect v12.1.1.3 or v10.0.8.13 following the fix central documentation.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, enforce strict access controls by restricting API Connect administrative access to trusted users, monitoring authentication attempts, and temporarily blocking privileged operations that are not essential.
  • After applying the patch or controls, review the authorization configuration to ensure least privilege is enforced, verify that role‑based access controls are correctly implemented, and audit logs for any unauthorized data access attempts.
