CVE-2026-17402: Multiple Vulnerabilities in IBM API Connect

Q: Which deployments are affected?

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 are affected.

Q: Does exploitation require prior access?

Yes. The issue is described as remotely exploitable by an authenticated attacker, so an attacker needs valid authentication before attempting command injection.

Q: What could a successful attacker do?

A successful attacker could execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the underlying host by supplying input that is passed to the operating system without proper neutralization.

Updated

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 commands due to OS command injection. User-supplied input is not properly neutralized before it is passed to the operating system, which could allow commands to run on the underlying host.
