# CVE-2026-17244: Multiple Vulnerabilities in IBM API Connect

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-07. Updated: 2026-11-12.

IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to perform unauthorized actions and obtain sensitive information due to missing authorization. Certain operations do not verify that the user is permitted to act on the targeted resource, which could allow other users' API keys to be deleted.

## Remediation

- fix: IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading to v12.1.1.3
