Security Bulletin
Summary
The IBM DataPower GUI uses HTTP POST for operations that require information from the client. However, the GUI also responds to GET operations on the same URLs. While such GET operations are never initiated by the GUI, use of GET in such a manner could reveal sensitive information, so the GUI will no longer accept URL query parameters on GET operations
Vulnerability Details
