AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Social engineering drives UI:R and AC:H; file creation is local (AV:L); attacker needs no system privileges (PR:N); only integrity is impacted via unauthorized file writes.

IBM App Connect Enterprise 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.7.2, and 12.0.1.0 through 12.0.12.26 and IBM Integration Bus for z/OS 10.1.0.0 through 10.1.0.7 is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could socially engineer a user into accidentally creating files they may not be aware of.
AnalysisAI
File path control vulnerability (CWE-73) in IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM Integration Bus for z/OS enables a remote attacker to socially engineer a victim into triggering unauthorized file creation on the local system. Despite being tagged and described as SQL injection, the governing weakness classification is CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path), and the described impact - unexpected local file creation - aligns with that CWE rather than database injection. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a victim user actively interact with attacker-supplied input - specifically, the attacker must socially engineer the user into triggering the vulnerable code path within an IBM App Connect Enterprise or IIB for z/OS integration flow. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 score of 4.7 (Medium) reflects several risk-limiting factors: AV:L (local attack vector, meaning exploitation results in local-system impact), AC:H (high complexity requiring social engineering), and UI:R (mandatory user interaction). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A remote attacker identifies a user operating IBM App Connect Enterprise and crafts a malicious message or document containing a manipulated file path value. Through social engineering - such as a phishing message instructing the victim to process a specific input - the attacker convinces the user to trigger a vulnerable integration flow, causing the ACE runtime to create one or more files at attacker-specified paths on the local filesystem without the user's awareness. … |
| Remediation | A vendor-released patch is available per the IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7278350; however, no exact fixed version number is confirmed from the available input data - administrators should consult the advisory directly to identify the specific target release for their ACE 12.x, ACE 13.x, or IIB for z/OS 10.1.x deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
