Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the API Connect management interfaces and monitor for unusual outbound requests that could indicate exploitation attempts.

Description

IBM API Connect versions 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. This flaw allows a remote attacker to induce the affected component to send requests to unintended destinations and retrieve the responses, potentially exposing sensitive information.
