DescriptionCVE.org
IBM Security Verify Access Appliance 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.9 and 11.0.0.0 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code due to improper restrictions on code generation.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-0161 presents notable security risk, a code injection vulnerability rated CVSS 7.8. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
