CVE-2022-43916Network attack vector

Unintended external access via unrestricted pod egress

Published Jan 30, 2025 · Updated Feb 18, 2025

Egress failure in IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container 7.1 through 12.7 allows remote authenticated users to connect externally. Internal-infrastructure pods lack restrictions that confine outbound connections to intended endpoints. Exploitation requires authenticated network access and high complexity; successful use permits unintended communication and loss of data confidentiality or integrity.
