IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 and IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.3 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access - including container editions - allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash or indefinitely stall authentication services by triggering an infinite loop (CWE-835). All versions from 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 (Security Verify Access) and 11.0 through 11.0.3 (Verify Identity Access) are affected across both appliance and container deployments. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required to trigger the vulnerability (CVSS PR:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.5 High score is consistent with the threat model: network-reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation producing high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a specially crafted network request to a reachable IBM Verify Access authentication endpoint, causing the service to enter an infinite processing loop. The affected process consumes available CPU or stalls without recovering, preventing legitimate authentication requests from completing. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released patch documented in IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283079. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all deployments of IBM Security Verify Access 10.0-10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0-11.0.3 across both appliance and container environments to determine scope and criticality. …
