Summary

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 do not sufficiently validate uploaded custom module content before processing it (CWE-184, Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs). A remote authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code and access sensitive information from other tenants. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.9 (Critical).

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 and access sensitive information from other tenants due to insufficient input validation. Uploaded custom module content is not sufficiently validated before it is processed, which could allow code to run with access beyond the user's own tenant.
