DescriptionCVE.org

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 could allow an administrator to execute additional commands they are not entitled to due to improper validation of user supplied input.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation via command injection in IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access allows an authenticated administrator to execute system commands beyond their authorized scope. Affected products span IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 (including the container variant), with network-accessible administrative interfaces as the attack surface. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid administrator-level account on the IBM Verify Access or Verify Identity Access platform (CVSS PR:H confirmed). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.2 score reflects a genuine but access-gated risk: the network vector (AV:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L) are offset by the high privilege requirement (PR:H), meaning only existing administrators can trigger the vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained valid administrator credentials - through phishing, credential stuffing, or lateral movement from a previously compromised host - authenticates to the IBM Verify Access administrative interface over the network and submits crafted input containing injection metacharacters to a vulnerable parameter. The platform's insufficient input validation passes the payload to a downstream system component, causing execution of commands outside the administrator's intended authorization boundary and yielding full control over the underlying system.
Remediation Consult and apply the remediation documented in the IBM security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283079; patch availability is confirmed per vendor advisory but an exact fixed version number was not independently verifiable from the available input data and should be confirmed directly from that page. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify and document all deployments of IBM Security Verify Access (10.0-10.0.9.2) and IBM Verify Identity Access (11.0-11.0.3) across your environment, including container variants; audit current administrative user accounts and access scope. …
