CVE-2022-43922Network attack vector

API key disclosure via weak configuration hash

Published Feb 1, 2023 · Updated Mar 26, 2025

Weak API-key hashing in IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container allows remote authenticated users to disclose a configured API key. The product stores the API key in configuration using a weak hash, making the protected key recoverable to a user who can access that configuration. Network access with low privileges is required, and the documented consequence is disclosure of that key rather than configuration modification or service interruption.
