# IBM API Connect: authenticated attacker can obtain sensitive data via request forgery

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-17404 (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 have a server-side request forgery flaw. A remote attacker with a valid account can make the server fetch internal resources and leak 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; >= 12.1.0.0, <= 12.1.1.2 fixed 10.0.8.13, 12.1.1.3

## How to check

Find your API Connect version (e.g. apic version, or the version shown in the API Manager/Cloud Manager). Exposed if it is 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 or 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2. Fixed in 10.0.8.13 and 12.1.1.3.

## Fix

Upgrade to API Connect 12.1.1.3 (12.1.x) or 10.0.8.13 (10.0.8.x); IBM Fix Central.

## 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 server-side request forgery.
