Summary
IBM API Connect 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive API catalog and runtime configuration data due to improper authentication. Information supplied by the client is not sufficiently verified, which could allow a caller to appear as a trusted party.
