| Impact | Real-world risk is low despite network accessibility. The CVSS vector (PR:H, AC:L, AV:N, C:L, I:N, A:N) mandates high-privilege authentication, significantly narrowing the threat actor pool to malicious insiders or compromised administrative accounts. EPSS exploitation probability data is not provided, but the absence of public exploit code and lack of CISA KEV confirmation suggest limited active abuse. The information disclosure impact is constrained (C:L, partial confidentiality loss), and there is no integrity or availability impact. The patch is already available from the vendor, further reducing residual risk. This is a classic low-severity internal-threat scenario: high-privilege attackers with legitimate admin access can extract cross-domain information, but the barrier to exploitation is authentication itself. Organizations with strong access controls and administrative credential hygiene face minimal practical risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A disgruntled system administrator with legitimate access to the DataPower Gateway administrative console could authenticate to the interface and enumerate configuration or runtime details from other administrative domains without authorization, potentially exposing secrets, API policies, or system metadata that should remain compartmentalized. The low attack complexity and network accessibility mean the exploit requires only valid administrative credentials and knowledge of the DataPower Gateway UI-no special tools or code execution are needed. No public proof-of-concept has been identified. |

IBM DataPower Gateway versions 10.6CD (10.6.1.0-10.6.5.0), 10.5.0 (10.5.0.0-10.5.0.20), and 10.6.0 (10.6.0.0-10.6.0.8) disclose sensitive system information from other domains to authenticated administrative users due to improper access control. The vulnerability requires high-privilege administrative access over the network and results in confidentiality impact only; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed. CVSS 4.1 reflects low real-world risk due to authentication requirement, though patch availability limits exposure window.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch from IBM via the support notice at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7267833. Update affected DataPower Gateway instances to patched versions that enforce proper domain isolation and prevent cross-domain information access by administrative users. Interim mitigation: restrict administrative access to DataPower Gateway to trusted personnel and implement network-level controls (IP whitelisting, VPN requirements) to limit administrative console connectivity. Verify domain configurations post-patch to ensure sensitive information remains segregated between administrative domains.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability stems from CWE-497 (Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere), indicating that the DataPower Gateway application fails to enforce proper domain isolation or information access boundaries at the administrative interface level. DataPower Gateway is IBM's API and XML gateway appliance used for protocol transformation and security in enterprise SOA/microservices environments. The flaw allows an authenticated admin user to access sensitive metadata or configuration details belonging to other administrative domains that should be segregated. The cross-domain nature (Scope:Changed in CVSS) suggests the vulnerability impacts the confidentiality of information outside the immediate security boundary of the attacker's administrative domain.
