Description

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 attacker to obtain valid access tokens for other users due to improper authentication. Authentication against a connected directory service is not sufficiently enforced, which could allow another user's identity to be assumed.
