Executive brief
IBM App Connect Enterprise and Integration Bus, which are used to connect different business applications and data, are affected by a security flaw. An attacker could use social engineering to trick a user into performing actions that result in the creation of unauthorized files on the system. This could potentially lead to data integrity issues or unauthorized system changes if a user is successfully deceived.
Technical details
