CVE-2025-2988Network attack vector

Authenticated disclosure of sensitive server information

Published Aug 19, 2025 · Updated Aug 19, 2025

Information disclosure in the container B2B API of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and File Gateway allows remote authenticated users to read server data. IBM has not published the affected endpoint or the operation that exposes sensitive server information in releases 6.0.0.0 through 6.1.2.7, 6.2.0.0 through 6.2.0.4, and 6.2.1.0. Exploitation requires a highly privileged account; the disclosed data aids further attacks, with no reported integrity or availability impact.
