# IBM API Connect: weak random number generator lets remote attackers gain admin

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-17386 (this .md is for agents)

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 use a cryptographically weak pseudo-random number generator. A remote attacker can exploit this to gain full administrative control of the product.

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

## How to check

- Confirm the installed IBM API Connect version and check whether it falls within `10.0.8.0` through `10.0.8.12`.

## Fix

- IBM API Connect `10.0.8.0` through `10.0.8.12`: the sources do not name a fixed version.

## Timeline
