CVE-2026-8639
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-x2x7-pqv6-679m ↗EUVD-2026-119734 ↗
description
IBM Security Verify Directory 10.0.0 through 10.0.4 and IBM Verify Directory 11.0.0 are affected by session fixation. An attacker may gain access to the directory management console by taking over a session after a victim authenticates to it. This requires the attacker to establish the session and a victim to authenticate using it.
mitigation
Restrict directory management console access to trusted administrative networks and authorized users to reduce exposure. Consult IBM's advisory or support channel for a corrected release; the available evidence does not name a fixed version.
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
