CVE-2023-47722

Credential disclosure via browser cache retention

Published Dec 9, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Credential exposure in IBM API Connect 10.0.5.3 and 10.0.6.0 allows local users to read credentials from the browser cache. The affected interface stores user credentials in browser-managed cache data, leaving those secrets retrievable after the browser processes them. Access requires a local user context where the affected interface has cached credentials; the documented impact is disclosure only, without data modification or service interruption.
