Summary
IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 is affected. Improperly controlled modification of object attributes (CWE-915) lets a user-supplied value change an access-related setting that the system should control. A remote authenticated attacker can exploit this to obtain sensitive information.

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 obtain sensitive information due to improperly controlled modification of object attributes. A user-supplied value could change an access-related setting that should be controlled by the system, which could expose sensitive information.
