Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-14031 affects IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway in versions 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.2.7_2, 6.2.0.0 through 6.2.0.5_1, 6.2.1.0 through 6.2.1.1_1, and 6.2.2.0. The vulnerability enables an unauthenticated attacker to send a specially crafted request that causes the application to crash, classified under CWE-77 (Command Injection) with limited additional details from NVD-CWE-noinfo. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5, reflecting network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, unscoped impact, and high availability disruption with no confidentiality or integrity effects.
Any unauthenticated attacker with network access to the vulnerable application can exploit this issue remotely. Exploitation involves sending a malicious request that triggers the crash, leading to a denial-of-service condition where the application becomes unavailable. No authentication, privileges, or user involvement is needed, making it straightforward for remote adversaries to repeatedly disrupt services.
IBM provides mitigation guidance and patch information in its security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7266520. Security practitioners should review this reference for version-specific fixes and apply them promptly to affected installations.
