DescriptionNVD

IBM App Connect Enterprise 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.1, and 12.0.1.0 through 12.0.12.28 and IBM Integration Bus for z/OS 10.1.0.0 through 10.1.0.7 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper logging of credentials.

AnalysisAI

Credential leakage via improper logging affects IBM App Connect Enterprise 12.x-13.x and IBM Integration Bus for z/OS 10.1.x, allowing a local attacker to recover plaintext credentials from application log files without requiring elevated privileges. The root cause is CWE-532, where sensitive authentication material is written to diagnostic or operational logs during normal product operation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Local filesystem access to the host running IBM App Connect Enterprise or IBM Integration Bus for z/OS is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.2 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a local attack vector, which substantially limits the attack surface relative to network-exploitable flaws. … 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 IBM-released patch documented at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286372; the advisory should specify the exact fix build for each affected release stream (ACE 12.0.x, ACE 13.0.x, and IIB z/OS 10.1.x) - exact patched version numbers were not included in the input data and must be verified directly from IBM. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
