Exploitation Conditions

Affects IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3, including the Security Verify Access Container and Verify Identity Access Container editions; the instance must be network-reachable by the attacker. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is required and no special non-default configuration is named in the description, so default deployments reachable over the network appear exposed. Limiting factors: the CISA SSVC assessment marks the attack as NOT automatable (manual, targeted exploitation rather than mass-scannable) with only partial technical impact, and the flaw is bounded to confidentiality (no integrity/availability effect per C:H/I:N/A:N); the specific sensitive data exposed is not specified in the available data.

Impact

Signals conflict and should be reconciled before prioritization. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:N/A:N, score 7.5) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated information-disclosure flaw with high confidentiality impact but NO integrity or availability impact - which is consistent with the description ('information disclosure attack') but DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS the 'RCE'/'Code Injection' tags and the CWE-94 (Code Injection) assignment, since genuine code injection would require I:H. Treat the RCE framing as suspect; the authoritative description and vector point to data exposure, not code execution. CISA SSVC reinforces a lower real-world urgency: Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial. There is no CISA KEV listing and no POC referenced in the provided data, and no EPSS score was supplied. Net: this is a legitimately patch-worthy unauthenticated confidentiality issue in an enterprise IAM product, but current evidence indicates no active exploitation and non-automatable attacks - a 'high-CVSS, moderate-real-risk' item that should be scheduled for prompt patching rather than treated as an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted requests to an internet- or network-reachable IBM Security Verify Access / Verify Identity Access instance and retrieves sensitive information that should not be exposed. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials or user interaction are needed, though SSVC rates the attack as not automatable. No public exploit code was identified in the provided sources.

AnalysisAIv2 – Oct 09, 2026

Information disclosure in IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 (including the Security Verify Access Container and Verify Identity Access Container editions) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read sensitive data from a network-reachable instance, per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with confidentiality impact rated High and no integrity or availability effect. No public exploit code has been identified and CISA's SSVC assessment records no observed exploitation, with the attack classified as not automatable and only partial technical impact, indicating targeted rather than mass-scannable abuse. Vendor-released fixes are available from IBM, so exposure is primarily a function of how reachable the identity appliance or container endpoints are from untrusted networks.

v1 Oct 08, 2026 - 21:42 CVSS 6.4

Information disclosure and possible code injection in IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3, including their container editions, allow an authenticated, low-privileged user to reach a weakly protected code-generation path over the network. Exploitation is rated high complexity (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H, base 6.4), because it depends on timing, configuration, or server state the attacker does not fully control, and the resulting impact is low confidentiality and integrity loss with a high availability impact. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, and IBM has released a vendor fix; this is a moderate-priority, authenticated vulnerability rather than a critical internet-facing emergency.

RemediationAI

Remediation is available per the vendor: IBM documents the fix for this issue in advisory node 7291628 (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7291628), so administrators running Security Verify Access at or below 10.0.9.2, Verify Identity Access at or below 11.0.3, or the corresponding container editions should apply the release level specified in that advisory - IBM's published fix version is the authoritative source and should be confirmed there rather than inferred. Because the vulnerability is network-reachable, unauthenticated and requires no user interaction, the highest-value compensating control is reducing exposure while patching: block internet or untrusted-zone access to the appliance's administrative, management and API listeners at the firewall or reverse proxy and permit only known management networks, accepting that this can break federated SSO or API clients that legitimately connect from outside that set. Where full isolation is impractical, front the affected endpoints with an authenticating reverse proxy or mutual-TLS gateway and monitor for anomalous unauthenticated reads; note that this adds a component to the trust path and may interfere with clients that do not support the added authentication. Containerized deployments should be rebuilt from the updated image rather than patched in place to avoid drift. Finally, treat this as a targeted-exploitation risk rather than an emergency mass-exploitation scenario (CISA SSVC rates exploitation none, not automatable, partial impact), and log/inspect for unusual read activity against the identity platform while remediation is scheduled.

Technical ContextAI · show details

IBM Security Verify Access (formerly IBM Security Access Manager) and its successor IBM Verify Identity Access are access-management, single sign-on, federation and policy-enforcement platforms deployed as hardened virtual appliances and as container images; the CPE data confirms four affected packages - security_verify_access, verify_identity_access, and the corresponding *_container editions - meaning both appliance and containerized deployments are in scope. The assigned CWE-94 (improper control of generation of code, i.e. code injection) and the accompanying references/tags that mention RCE and code injection point to a defect in the handling of externally supplied, code-like input, which is the mechanism typically behind this family of information-disclosure findings; however, the authoritative CVSS vector is bounded to C:H/I:N/A:N with S:U, so the assessed outcome in the provided data is unauthorized read of sensitive information rather than code execution or system compromise. Attack complexity is Low and no privileges or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N), consistent with a remote, unauthenticated request against an exposed listener or endpoint. The CISA SSVC entry (Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial) further narrows the practical risk picture: this is a manually driven, targeted exploitation scenario rather than a wormable or mass-scannable one, and the specific data that can be read is not enumerated in the available intelligence.

IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 is vulnerable to an information disclosure attack.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM's identity and access management platforms, Security Verify Access and Verify Identity Access, contain a high-severity information disclosure flaw that could expose sensitive data to unauthorized parties. Although no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, these systems are often central to controlling access to enterprise applications and data, so any confidentiality breach could serve as a stepping stone to broader compromise. Leadership should prioritize patching and limiting network exposure to reduce regulatory and operational risks.

Attack Technique

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Code Injection CRITICAL

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.
