# IBM API Connect: path traversal lets authenticated users read sensitive files

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-17382 (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 contain a path traversal flaw. A logged-in remote attacker can use it to obtain sensitive information.

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

## Affected

- vendor:api-connect affected >= 10.0.8.0, <= 10.0.8.12 fixed 10.0.8.13

## How to check

Check your API Connect version. Per IBM's bulletin, 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 are affected; upgrade to 10.0.8.13. NVD/CVE record also lists 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2, but IBM's bulletin does not list 12.1.x or a fix for it, so if you run 12.1.x, ask IBM support or check IBM's 12.1 bulletins.

## Fix

Upgrade IBM API Connect to 10.0.8.13 (IBM bulletin; download via Fix Central). IBM's bulletin names no fixed version for 12.1.x.

## 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 obtain sensitive information due to a path traversal vulnerability.
