CVE-2021-38997
IBM API Connect V10.0.0.0 through V10.0.5.0, V10.0.1.0 through V10.0.1.7, and V2018.4.1.0 through 2018.4.1.19 is vulnerable to HTTP header injection, caused by improper validation of input by the HOST headers.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
