description

IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 are affected by deserialization of untrusted data. A remote unauthenticated attacker may execute code on an affected system when they can reach the vulnerable service.

mitigation

Restrict network access to affected services to trusted sources until IBM-provided updates can be applied. Upgrade to an IBM release that addresses the issue when one is available.
