AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026

IBM Verify Identity Access (and its predecessor Security Verify Access) contains an improper authorization flaw that lets an administrator with limited entitlements execute additional commands beyond their granted privileges by supplying specially crafted input to the product's administrative functionality. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact but requiring an existing privileged account to reach. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and IBM has published a vendor fix via its support advisory.
