IBM Verify Access and Identity may let attacker run code

CVE-2026-16916 · published 1 day ago
Summary

Versions 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 of IBM Security Verify Access and 11.0 through 11.0.3 of IBM Verify Identity Access can be tricked by a signed‑in user to run unwanted programs. This happens because a security check fails, allowing the attacker to execute code on the server. Apply the latest security updates from IBM as soon as possible to close the gap.

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.
