CVE-2026-13107: CWE-611 Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in IBM Business Automation Workflow containers and traditional
IBM Business Automation Workflow containers and traditional may use programming model artifacts that are vulnerable to XML Entity Injection attacks by default.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM Business Automation Workflow containers and traditional versions 24.0.0, 24.0.1, 25.0.0, and 26.0.0 use programming model artifacts that are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) Injection attacks by default. This is classified under CWE-611, indicating improper restriction of XML external entity references. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, and low availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with network access and low privileges can exploit this vulnerability without user interaction to gain access to sensitive information (high confidentiality impact). The integrity of the system is not affected, and availability impact is low. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or workaround information is provided, users should monitor IBM advisories for updates and consider applying any recommended configuration changes to restrict XML external entity processing where possible.
