CVE-2025-36112
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 · uneditedIBM Sterling B2B Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway 6.0.0.0 through 6.1.2.7 and 6.2.0.0 through 6.2.0.5 and 6.2.1.1 could reveal sensitive server IP configuration information to an unauthorized user.
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 confidenceIBM Sterling B2B Integrator and Sterling File Gateway contain an information disclosure vulnerability allowing unauthenticated users to obtain sensitive server IP configuration details. This is a network-exploitable issue with no authentication required, exposing internal network topology information.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.
Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed version of IBM Sterling B2B IntegratorLocate the product version information in the system documentation, installation directory, or admin console. Typical locations include the system information panel or version.txt file in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is >= 6.0.0.0 and < 6.1.2.7_2, or >= 6.2.0.0 and < 6.2.0.5_1, or exactly 6.2.1.1
-
Identify the installed version of IBM Sterling File GatewayLocate the product version information in the system documentation, installation directory, or admin console. This may be accessible through the same methods as the B2B Integrator or within the Gateway-specific administration interface.Affected if The installed version is >= 6.0.0.0 and < 6.1.2.7_2, or >= 6.2.0.0 and < 6.2.0.5_1, or exactly 6.2.1.1
-
Determine if administrative interfaces are network-accessibleReview firewall rules, network configurations, and access control lists to check whether the IBM Sterling admin ports or web interfaces are exposed to untrusted networks or the internet.Affected if The admin interface is reachable from untrusted networks without authentication required for access
-
Verify if unauthenticated endpoints are reachableTest connectivity to common Sterling administrative endpoints using a web browser or curl command from an untrusted network location to confirm whether unauthenticated access is possible.Affected if Unauthenticated users can access server IP configuration details or internal network topology information through exposed endpoints
You are affected if either IBM Sterling B2B Integrator or Sterling File Gateway is running a version within the affected ranges AND the administrative interface is network-accessible to unauthenticated users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped6.1.2.7_26.2.0.5_1
Apply the IBM-provided security patches or upgrades to the affected versions (6.0.0.0-6.1.2.7, 6.2.0.0-6.2.0.5, 6.2.1.1). Restrict network access to administrative interfaces as an interim control.
6.1.2.7_2 or 6.2.0.5_1 (depending on current branch)
- 1. Identify the current version of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator or Sterling File Gateway by checking the product dashboard or version information.
- 2. Determine which version branch you are currently on (6.0.x-6.1.x or 6.2.x).
- 3. For systems on version 6.0.0.0 through 6.1.2.7: Plan upgrade to version 6.1.2.7_2 or later.
- 4. For systems on version 6.2.0.0 through 6.2.0.5: Plan upgrade to version 6.2.0.5_1 or later.
- 5. For systems on version 6.2.1.1: Upgrade to the latest available version that includes the security fix (6.2.0.5_1 or newer).
- 6. Review IBM's upgrade documentation and release notes for the target version before proceeding.
- 7. Perform a full backup of the current system and configurations.
- 8. Test the upgrade in a non-production environment first.
