Summary

Improper input validation in IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 causes platform credentials to be included in outbound requests. The validation check is not sufficiently strict, and a remote attacker can trigger this without authentication. The weakness is classified as CWE-863.

Description from the CNA

IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote attacker to inject platform credentials into outbound requests due to improper input validation. A validation check is not sufficiently strict, which could cause platform credentials to be included in outbound requests.
