description
IBM API Connect versions 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 are affected by an XML external entity processing flaw. A remote attacker may obtain sensitive information without authentication; the documented precondition is use of an affected deployment, with no specific interface identified.
mitigation
Restrict untrusted access to interfaces that accept or process XML, and disable external entity resolution where the deployment permits it. Monitor for and apply IBM's corrective update when available; no fixed version is recorded in the advisory data.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
