Summary
IBM API Connect 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.12 and 12.1.0.0 through 12.1.1.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper validation of external references. When schemas are validated, references to external resources are not sufficiently restricted, which could allow the server to retrieve content it should not access.

Questions about CVE-2026-17285
Is CVE-2026-17285 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?
When schemas are validated, the server does not sufficiently restrict references to external resources, so it can retrieve content it should not access, which can expose sensitive information.Source: ibm.com, cve.org
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-17285?
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
