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 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 Reverse Proxy in certain configurations is vulnerable to a denial of service attack.

AnalysisAI

IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access - across both traditional software and container deployments - expose a Use After Free (CWE-416) memory corruption flaw in the Reverse Proxy component that authenticated network attackers can trigger under certain non-default configurations to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability carries a low CVSS base score of 3.1, reflecting high attack complexity and impact limited strictly to availability, with no confidentiality or integrity exposure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the target instance must be running the Reverse Proxy component in a specific non-default configuration described by IBM - the exact triggering configuration is not disclosed in the available CVE data, meaning administrators must consult the IBM advisory to identify whether their deployment is susceptible; (2) the attacker must possess at least low-level authenticated access to the system (PR:L per CVSS vector), ruling out unauthenticated remote exploitation; and (3) high attack complexity (AC:H) implies specific timing, concurrency, or state conditions must be satisfied, making casual or automated exploitation unreliable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The real-world risk is low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated user with low-level credentials - such as a service account provisioned for a protected application - submits a specially crafted HTTP request to the IBM Verify Access Reverse Proxy running in the susceptible configuration. The Use After Free condition in the proxy's memory management code is triggered under the specific state conditions required by AC:H, causing the Reverse Proxy process to crash or become unresponsive and denying service to downstream users dependent on it for access to protected resources. …
Remediation Consult the IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283079 for the official patch or interim fix; the exact patched version numbers were not included in the available CVE data and must be confirmed directly from IBM's advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
