IBM Verify Identity Access could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to insufficient validation of incoming request resources.
AnalysisAI
IBM Verify Identity Access (formerly IBM Security Verify Access) fails to adequately validate or bound the resources consumed by incoming requests, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to drive resource exhaustion and deny service to legitimate users. Affected builds include Verify Identity Access 11.0.0 through 11.0.3 Interim Fix 001 and Security Verify Access 10.0.0 through 10.0.9.2 Interim Fix 001, in both software and container form factors. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of IBM Verify Identity Access and Security Verify Access, as indicated by CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, but the attack does require that the affected access manager's request-handling endpoints be network-reachable by the attacker (typically internet- or partner-facing reverse-proxy/authentication ports); instances bound only to an internal management network are not exposed to this vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base vector is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), which describes an unauthenticated network attacker who can achieve a high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity loss and no scope change - a straightforward denial-of-service profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to the vendor-supplied fixed release for your track - Verify Identity Access 11.0.3 Interim Fix 002 or later (or the 11.x build referenced in IBM support page https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286188), and Security Verify Access 10.0.9.2 Interim Fix 002 or later; container images must be repulled and redeployed, and in clustered or containerized deployments all nodes must be updated because the request handler behind a load balancer will otherwise remain reachable. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
