What would change the score
- Would score about 71 if added to CISA KEV
- Would score about 66 if CISA's SSVC rates exploitation active
- Would score about 31 if advisories confirm default setups are exposed
What to do
Upgrade to a fixed version: 12.1.1.3.

Questions about CVE-2026-16918
Is CVE-2026-16918 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?
IBM says the flaw is server-side request forgery, which could let a remote attacker reach internal network resources through API Connect. In plain words, the server can be made to send requests to systems that are not meant to be reachable from outside.Source: ibm.com, cve.org
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-16918?
API Connect: from 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2; from 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12.Source: cve.now feed data
