IBM Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 could allow an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary commands as lower user privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input.
AnalysisAI
Command injection vulnerability in IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access (versions 10.0-10.0.9.1 and 11.0-11.0.2, both containerized and non-containerized deployments) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands with lower user privileges. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied input (CWE-78). With CVSS 7.3 and network-accessible attack vector requiring no authentication or user interaction, this represents a significant exposure for internet-facing identity and access management infrastructure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though EPSS data not provided. Vendor patch available per IBM advisory.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability affects IBM's Security Verify Access and Verify Identity Access platforms, which are enterprise identity and access management (IAM) solutions providing authentication, authorization, and single sign-on capabilities. The flaw is a classic command injection vulnerability (CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), where the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to system command execution functions. The affected CPE strings identify four distinct product lines: containerized and traditional deployments of both Security Verify Access (10.0.x series) and Verify Identity Access (11.0.x series). Command injection vulnerabilities typically occur when applications construct shell commands using string concatenation with untrusted input rather than using parameterized APIs or proper input validation. In IAM platforms, such vulnerabilities often exist in administrative interfaces, configuration endpoints, or authentication/authorization processing paths that interact with underlying operating system functions.
RemediationAI
Organizations should immediately apply vendor-released patches documented in IBM's security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7268253. The advisory provides specific remediation instructions for each affected product line and version range. For IBM Security Verify Access 10.x deployments, upgrade to the patched version specified in the advisory. For IBM Verify Identity Access 11.x deployments, similarly apply the corresponding fix version. Both containerized and non-containerized deployments require patching attention. As an interim risk mitigation for environments where immediate patching is not feasible, organizations should review network exposure of affected systems, implement additional network segmentation to restrict access to trusted sources only, deploy web application firewall rules to filter potentially malicious input patterns, and enhance monitoring for suspicious command execution or abnormal process creation from IBM Verify Access services. However, these mitigations are not substitutes for patching, as the unauthenticated nature and low attack complexity make the vulnerability readily exploitable once attack patterns are identified.
