IBM WebSphere Message Broker 6.1 before 6.1.0.12, 7.0 before 7.0.0.6, and 8.0 before 8.0.0.2, when the Parse Query Strings option is enabled on an HTTPInput node, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted query string.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let an external user make vulnerable IBM WebSphere Message Broker HTTP flows hang by sending a malformed query string. The business risk is service disruption in integration middleware, especially where broker HTTP endpoints support customer, partner, or internal transaction flows. Exposure is limited to older IBM WebSphere Message Broker deployments using HTTPInput nodes with Parse Query Strings enabled. Internet-facing or partner-facing broker HTTP endpoints carry higher operational risk than isolated internal flows. Treat this as a targeted availability risk for legacy integration platforms. It is not supported as actively exploited in the supplied sources, but vulnerable broker endpoints can disrupt dependent business processes and should be upgraded or isolated. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected deployments to the IBM fixed levels or later.; Prioritize brokers exposing HTTPInput flows to untrusted networks.; Review IBM APAR PM75015 and related vendor guidance..
