CVE-2026-17404

Summary

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0–10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0–12.1.1.2 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CWE-918) that allows an authenticated attacker to force the application to make unintended requests to internal or external systems, potentially exposing sensitive internal data or services.

Exploitability

Exploitation requires valid authentication credentials and no user interaction, with low attack complexity, making it feasible for compromised or insider accounts.

Blast radius

Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to internal network resources, cloud metadata services, or backend systems, resulting in data exfiltration and limited integrity impact due to the SSRF nature.

Detection

No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.

Prioritized remediation

Upgrade to IBM API Connect 10.0.8.13 or 12.1.1.3 or later, as these versions contain the fix for CVE-2026-17404.
