Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-13726 is an information disclosure vulnerability (CWE-209) affecting IBM Sterling Partner Engagement Manager in versions 6.2.3.0 through 6.2.3.5 and 6.2.4.0 through 6.2.4.2. The flaw occurs when the application returns detailed technical error messages to users, which may expose sensitive information about the system.
A remote attacker requires no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity. Exploitation enables the attacker to obtain sensitive information from the error messages, which could be leveraged to conduct further attacks against the system. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), reflecting medium severity with low confidentiality impact and no impact on integrity or availability.
IBM has published a security advisory with details on the vulnerability at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7263391.

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.
Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.
Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.
Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.
Application security requirements can specify safe error messaging.
Secure architecture principles include proper exception handling.
