Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-22	The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 are vulnerable to path traversal. This allows a remote attacker to perform an arbitrary file write by exploiting improper path validation.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves path traversal leading to arbitrary file write in IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access. Detection requires checking for unusual file writes or unauthorized access patterns in logs or file systems. No specific commands are provided in the given context.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could write malicious files to arbitrary locations on the system. This may lead to remote code execution, data corruption, or unauthorized access to sensitive files.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could compromise data integrity and confidentiality, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for protecting personal and health data.
