Summary
IBM API Connect is affected by an injection flaw that lets a remote attacker who has a low-privilege login read sensitive data belonging to other tenants. The attacker can reach it over the network with no user action needed, because the query returns data the user is not permitted to see.

Read the original description
IBM API Connect 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information belonging to other tenants due to an injection vulnerability. Input used to build a data query is not properly neutralized, which could allow the query to return data the user is not permitted to see.

Questions about CVE-2026-16854
Is CVE-2026-16854 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
Input injected into a data query can make it return data the user is not permitted to see. This can expose sensitive information belonging to other tenants.Source: ibm.com, cve.org
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-16854?
API Connect: from 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2.Source: cve.now feed data
