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 authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper control of generation of code. Input supplied by a user can influence code generated by the product, which could lead to code execution.
