Technical details
IBM App Connect Enterprise is vulnerable to OS command injection (CWE-78) due to the improper neutralization of Carriage Return/Line Feed (CRLF) characters. An unauthenticated attacker located on the adjacent network can exploit this flaw by submitting malicious input that includes these special characters to manipulate underlying system commands. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the application. The vulnerability is addressed in IBM App Connect Enterprise v13 Fix Pack 13.0.8.0 and v12 Fix Pack 12.0.12.28.
