AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L
Remote unauthenticated XML parsing (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); classic XXE yields data disclosure (C:H) and only memory-based degradation (A:L), with no integrity impact (I:N).

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 is vulnerable to an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information or consume memory resources.
AnalysisAI
XML external entity injection in IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.0.0-10.5.0.22, 10.6.0.0-10.6.0.10, 10.6.1-10.6.6, and 11.0.0.0-11.0.0.2 lets remote, unauthenticated attackers who can reach an XML-accepting endpoint read files or internal resources from the gateway host and, via entity expansion, exhaust memory. The CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L, base 8.2) confirms no credentials or user interaction are required, with high confidentiality impact and low availability impact. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the targeted DataPower Gateway process attacker-supplied XML - i.e., a service/processing policy (such as an XML firewall, Web Service Proxy, or multiprotocol gateway handling SOAP/XML payloads) that accepts and parses XML from an untrusted source without external-entity resolution disabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a credible but moderate-priority issue rather than a top-tier emergency. … 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 | Patch available per vendor advisory - update to the fixed DataPower firmware release identified in IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7289775 for your respective 10.5.0, 10.6.0, 10.6.x (CD), or 11.0.0 branch; exact fixed build numbers should be taken from that advisory rather than assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all IBM DataPower Gateway instances and determine which fall in the affected ranges (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), then restrict external reachability of XML-accepting endpoints to known trusted sources as a temporary measure; note that no vendor fix version string was supplied in the advisory context, so obtain the precise fixed build from IBM's support portal rather than assuming the latest maintenance level is sufficient. …
