Local sensitive data disclosure via WS-Security logging
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
Information disclosure in IBM App Connect Enterprise 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.7.0 allows local users to read sensitive log data. When WS-Security runs with Java 17, the affected processing path writes potentially sensitive information into log files; IBM has not identified the specific fields or logging call. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and affects confidentiality only, with no reported ability to alter data or interrupt service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
