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 vulnerability that allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by triggering uncontrolled resource consumption. Certain crafted requests can cause internal processing to stall, potentially making the service unavailable.
