IBM API Connect CVE-2025-13915 mitigation guidance
Advisory/Mitigation
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
IBM told customers to upgrade IBM API Connect to address CVE-2025-13915, a critical authentication bypass that can let unauthenticated attackers reach exposed applications. The guidance covers versions 10.0.11.0 and 10.0.8.0 through 10.0.8.5, with patch instructions for VMware, OCP, and Kubernetes deployments. For systems that cannot be updated right away, IBM said to disable self-service sign-up in the Developer Portal as an interim mitigation. The advisory matters because the flaw can be abused in low-complexity remote attacks against internet-facing API infrastructure.
