IBM App Connect Enterprise exposes sensitive data to remote attackers
A network service in IBM App Connect Enterprise listens on every network address instead of only the ones it should. This can let outsiders on the network reach it and read information they should not see.

How the attack works simplified
- 1Remote attackerScans for reachable servers on the network
- 2Open listenerService bound to all IP addresses
- 3App Connect serviceResponds to unauthenticated requests
- 4Sensitive dataInformation returned to the attacker
- ResultAttacker obtains sensitive information
What happened
IBM App Connect Enterprise versions 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.2 bind a component to an unrestricted IP address, allowing remote access to sensitive information.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run IBM App Connect Enterprise from 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.2 on a network reachable by others.
IBM App Connect Enterprise 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.2
What to do
- Check whether your IBM App Connect Enterprise version falls within 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.8.2.
- Restrict network access to the affected server with a firewall so only trusted hosts can connect.
- Apply the official IBM fix or update once you have confirmed it, as no fixed version is named in the available material.
