CVE-2026-12091
Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.3)—
IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 could allow a denial of service due to a heap-based out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request that causes a limited out‑of‑bounds memory read.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
- Base score: 5.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.30%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 21
- Score date: 10/14/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
