description

IBM Security Verify Access releases 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access releases 11.0 through 11.0.3 are affected. A remote attacker may circumvent access-control restrictions when they can reach an affected service.

mitigation

Apply IBM's vendor-provided remediation promptly; the evidence does not identify an exact fixed release. Until updated, limit network access to affected services to trusted administrative networks and users.
