CVE-2026-5515
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 App Connect Enterprise 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.7.0 stores potentially sensitive information in log files that could be read by a local 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 · high confidenceIBM App Connect Enterprise versions 13.0.1.0 through 13.0.7.0 contains a local information disclosure vulnerability where potentially sensitive information is written to log files. A local user with file system access to the log directory could read this sensitive data.

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.
-
Determine installed IBM App Connect Enterprise versionUse IBM utilities to retrieve the installed version (e.g., mqsiVersion command or check the installation manifest)Affected if Version is >= 13.0.1.0 and < 13.0.7.1
-
Identify log directory locationsLocate where IBM App Connect Enterprise writes its log files by checking configuration files or default installation pathsAffected if Log directories exist and contain application output logs
-
Review file permissions on log directoriesCheck file system permissions on identified log directories to determine if non-administrative users have read access (e.g., using ls -la or icacls)Affected if Log directories grant read permissions to users other than administrators or the service account
-
Examine log file contents for sensitive dataInspect log files in the identified directories for patterns indicating sensitive information (e.g., credentials, tokens, personal data)Affected if Logs contain data that should not be exposed to unauthorized filesystem users
Environment is affected if IBM App Connect Enterprise version is between 13.0.1.0 and 13.0.7.0 AND log directories are accessible to unauthorized local 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 · scoped13.0.7.1
Restrict file system permissions on log directories to limit access to authorized administrators only, and configure logging to exclude sensitive data from output.
13.0.7.1
- Back up the current IBM App Connect Enterprise configuration, integrations, and any custom resources
- Review the IBM App Connect Enterprise 13.0.7.1 release notes and security bulletin for any migration requirements or注意事项
- Download IBM App Connect Enterprise version 13.0.7.1 or later from IBM Fix Central or your authorized IBM distribution channel
- Install the upgrade following IBM's standard upgrade procedure for your deployment model (standalone, container, or distributed)
- After upgrade, verify the installation is successful and test critical integration flows
- Confirm that sensitive information is no longer being written to log files as described in the security bulletin
