CVE-2025-13212Network attack vector

Email service interruption via unbounded interactions

Published Mar 13, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026

Denial of service in IBM Aspera Console 3.3.0 through 3.4.8 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt the email service. The email-service request path fails to limit how frequently authenticated users can trigger interactions, permitting repeated requests to exhaust service availability. IBM has not disclosed the affected endpoint or function, and the reported consequence is limited to email-service interruption rather than a full Console outage.
