Summary
IBM API Connect 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to server-side request forgery. Destination restrictions on outbound requests can be bypassed, which could allow the server to retrieve content from unintended resources.

Questions about CVE-2026-17228
Is CVE-2026-17228 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?
The server can be tricked into retrieving content from destinations it should not reach, because restrictions on outbound request destinations can be bypassed. This could let someone obtain sensitive information through server-side request forgery.Source: ibm.com, cve.org
