Monthly
Server-side template injection (SSTI) in IBM Verify Identity Access and Security Verify Access exposes sensitive information to unauthenticated remote attackers via a network-accessible endpoint. The vulnerability affects both traditional appliance deployments and container variants across IBM's IAM product family (versions 10.x and 11.x), and is particularly notable given that IAM platforms routinely handle authentication tokens, user credentials, and security policy configuration - data whose disclosure has outsized downstream impact. IBM has assessed the impact as confidentiality-only (I:N/A:N in the CVSS vector), suggesting the template injection is sandboxed against code execution, but no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access allows an authenticated low-privilege user to assume the identity and privileges of another user by submitting a specially crafted network request. The vulnerability spans both on-premises and container deployments across multiple product generations (10.x and 11.x lines), broadening the exposed surface considerably. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS score of 8.1 and low attack complexity make this a high-priority patching target for organizations running IBM identity infrastructure.

NVD rates this CVSS 9.8, but the vague 'certain configurations' wording and a low EPSS of 0.24% (15th percentile) with SSVC exploitation status 'none' point to a config-dependent issue rather than mass exploitation. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV.
Local code execution in IBM Security Verify Access 10.0-10.0.9.1 and 11.0-11.0.2 (both container and non-container deployments) allows unauthenticated local attackers to execute malicious scripts from outside the application's control sphere. This CWE-829 inclusion of functionality from untrusted control sphere vulnerability achieves container escape (scope change to C in CVSS vector), enabling high confidentiality impact and limited integrity/availability impact. No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity (AC:L) and lack of required privileges (PR:N) make this readily exploitable by local users.
Local privilege escalation to root in IBM Verify/Security Verify Access products 10.0-11.0.2 allows unauthenticated local users to gain full system control via excessive process privileges (CWE-250). The CVSS 9.3 score reflects local attack vector but no authentication requirement (PR:N) and complete system compromise with scope change. Patch available per vendor advisory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the local attack vector and low complexity (AC:L) suggest straightforward exploitation once local access is obtained.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in IBM Verify Identity Access and Security Verify Access products (versions 10.0-11.0.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to contact internal authentication endpoints that should be protected by the Reverse Proxy component.
