CVE-2026-17416: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data 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 insecure deserialization.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM App Connect Enterprise versions 12.0.1.0 through 12.0.12.27 and 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.0 contain a deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) that allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code by exploiting insecure deserialization of untrusted data. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Exploitation requires local access with low privileges and user interaction.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the local user, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability is limited to local attackers and requires user interaction, which reduces the likelihood of remote exploitation.
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 running untrusted code or data within the affected versions.
