# IBM API Connect: missing authorization lets users delete other users' API keys

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-17244 (this .md is for agents)

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 skip permission checks on some operations. A logged-in attacker can perform unauthorized actions, read sensitive information, and delete other users' API keys.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed API Connect version in the product's admin console or deployment metadata against `10.0.8.12` and `12.1.1.2`

## Fix

- Move 10.0.8.x installs past `10.0.8.12` and 12.1.x installs past `12.1.1.2`; the exact fixed version is not stated in the sources

## From the sources

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 perform unauthorized actions and obtain sensitive information due to missing authorization. Certain operations do not verify that the user is permitted to act on the targeted resource, which could allow other users' API keys to be deleted.
