# IBM API Connect: weak random number generator leaks sensitive information locally

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-17393 (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 local attacker can use this weakness to obtain sensitive information.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed IBM API Connect version against the affected range 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12
- Confirm whether the version in use falls inside that range; the sources do not name a configuration check

## From the sources

IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information due to the use of a cryptographically weak pseudo-random number generator.
