Impact

IBM API Connect is vulnerable to improperly controlled modification of object attributes that allows a remote authenticated attacker to change access‑related settings that should be restricted by the system. This flaw can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information.

Affected Systems

The affected system is IBM API Connect from version 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and from 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2. These releases are identified for IBM. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-915.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 indicates a high‑severity risk, and EPSS is not available, meaning no current probability estimate. The vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attacker must first authenticate to the API Connect environment and then can exploit the flaw to modify privileged settings, potentially exposing confidential data. Because authentication is required, the attack vector is considered network but requires valid credentials.
