Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
IBM webMethods Integration 10.15 and 11.1 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF). This may allow an authenticated attacker to send unauthorized requests from the system, potentially leading to network enumeration or facilitating other attacks.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

IBM webMethods Integration versions 10.15 and 11.1 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. An authenticated attacker can craft malicious requests that cause the server to make unauthorized connections to internal or external resources, enabling network enumeration and potentially pivoting to internal systems.

MitigationApply IBM security patches for this vulnerability. Additionally, implement strict input validation on user-supplied URLs and restrict outbound network access from the integration server to prevent unauthorized request generation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed webMethods Integration version
    Check the version file in the installation directory (typically in the /profiles/IS_default directory or via the webMethods Administration Console under 'About > Product Information')
    Affected if The installed version is 10.15 or 11.1 exactly as listed in the affected versions
  2. Confirm the Integration Server component is deployed
    Locate the Integration Server (IS) profile in the webMethods installation (usually under Software AG_directory/profiles/IS_default) and verify it is running via the command 'sagcmd IS_xxx show runtime' or through the webMethods Administrator web interface
    Affected if The Integration Server component is installed and running as part of the webMethods deployment
  3. Verify network exposure of the Integration Server
    Check the Integration Server's port configuration (default ports 5555 for Administrator, 80/443 for HTTP/HTTPS) and confirm the server is bound to a network-accessible IP address rather than localhost only
    Affected if The Integration Server HTTP/HTTPS listeners are bound to a reachable network interface rather than loopback only
  4. Check for external or internal network connectivity from the server
    Review the Integration Server's allowed outbound connections in the admin console under 'Security > Network > Proxy Settings' and verify if the server can make outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests to arbitrary URLs
    Affected if The Integration Server has outbound HTTP capability enabled without strict network restrictions
  5. Identify if web service or REST endpoints accepting URLs are enabled
    Examine the Integration Server's exposed services via the webMethods Administrator (under 'Services > Folder' or via the Service Development UI) for any public-facing or internal services that accept URL parameters or perform HTTP calls based on user input
    Affected if Any web service or REST endpoint on the Integration Server accepts user-supplied URLs for server-side requests

Your environment is affected if you are running exactly version 10.15 or 11.1 of IBM webMethods Integration with the Integration Server component active and accessible over the network.
