IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.22, 10.6.1 through 10.6.6, 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.10, and 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.0.2 could allow a remote attacker to obtain administrative access due to failure to reject empty passwords during LDAP authentication.
AnalysisAI
Empty-password LDAP authentication bypass in IBM DataPower Gateway lets remote, unauthenticated attackers obtain administrative access to affected appliances by submitting a blank password that the LDAP authentication logic fails to reject. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and affects 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.10, 10.6.1 through 10.6.6, and 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.0.2; exploitation requires only that LDAP be configured for administrative/management authentication and that the authentication interface be network-reachable. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the DataPower Gateway to be configured to use LDAP for authentication of administrative/management access, and requires network reachability to that authentication interface; the attacker then supplies an empty (blank) password, which the vulnerable LDAP authentication logic fails to reject. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All signals point to a genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the fixed firmware published by IBM; the vendor advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7289775 identifies the remediated releases for each affected stream (10.5.0.x, 10.6.0.x, 10.6.1 CD, and 11.0.0.x), so consult that page for the exact build matching your branch before upgrading - patch availability is confirmed by the vendor but a single universal fix version is not stated in the source data provided. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all IBM DataPower Gateway appliances and identify any running affected versions (10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.10, 10.6.1 through 10.6.6, and 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.0.2) with LDAP configured for administrative/management authentication, and immediately restrict network access to those management interfaces to trusted management networks or disable LDAP-backed admin login until the vendor patch is applied. …
