7.4 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:NCVE-2026-17337
High (7.4) in ibm api connect. EPSS 0.2% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
IBM API Connect 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass authentication due to improper certificate validation. A certificate check is not performed reliably in all cases, which could allow a connection to be accepted without proper authentication.
