CVE-2026-17133: CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in IBM App Connect Enterprise
IBM App Connect Enterprise 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.0, and 12.0.1.0 through 12.0.12.27 could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM App Connect Enterprise versions 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.0 and 12.0.1.0 through 12.0.12.27 contain an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) due to improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands. This flaw could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is local with low complexity and no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could result in unauthorized control over the system and disruption of services.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and avoid executing untrusted commands or inputs within the affected IBM App Connect Enterprise versions.
