CVE-2026-18740

Status: AnalyzedHigh (8.8)—

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 remote authenticated attacker to perform unauthorized actions due to argument injection.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Vector CVSS con AV:N, PR:L, S:U y acceso total (C:H, I:H, A:H) indica explotación de servicio remoto por usuario autenticado (T1210). CWE-88 (argument injection) permite inyección de comandos (T1059), manipulación de datos (T1565.001) y potencial acceso de cuentas (T1078).

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
