Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in IBM DataPower Gateway allows a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions due to improper verification of cryptographic signatures. This means an attacker could exploit weaknesses in signature checks to gain unauthorized access or perform actions they shouldn't be able to.

Detection Guidance

Detection requires verifying IBM DataPower Gateway versions against affected releases (10.5.0.0-10.5.0.22, 10.6.1-10.6.6, 10.6.0.0-10.6.0.10, 11.0.0.0-11.0.0.2). Check system logs for failed signature verification events or unauthorized access attempts.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to bypass security controls, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, manipulation of system configurations, or disruption of services. Organizations using affected versions of IBM DataPower Gateway are at risk.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations. Organizations might face legal penalties, reputational damage, or loss of certification if they fail to address this issue.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the latest IBM DataPower Gateway patches or updates to versions beyond the affected ranges (10.5.0.22, 10.6.6, 10.6.0.10, 11.0.0.2). Verify cryptographic signature verification is properly enforced in configurations.
