CVE-2026-16823 · published 1 day ago
Summary

Versions of IBM Verify Access (10.0‑10.0.9.2) and IBM Verify Identity Access (11.0‑11.0.3) can be tricked into granting access without proper authentication.

What to do
  • Update ibm security_verify_access to version 10.0.9.3 or later.
  • Update ibm verify_identity_access to version 11.0.3.1 or later.
