CVE-2026-9074Network attack vector

Database reads and writes via password-reset SQL injection

Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026

SQL injection in IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.9 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.0.3 allows remote attackers to read and alter data. The password-reset code constructs a database query from request input without adequately neutralizing SQL syntax; IBM has not disclosed the affected route, parameter, query, or code path. No account or user interaction is required, and the published impact is limited to database confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
