Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access Reverse Proxy in certain configurations. It allows weaker than expected cryptographic validation of user-supplied data, potentially enabling attackers to bypass security controls.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves weaker cryptographic validation in IBM Security Verify Access and related products. Detection requires checking the software versions of IBM Security Verify Access, IBM Verify Identity Access, or IBM Verify Identity Access Container. If running versions 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 or 11.0 through 11.0.3, the system is potentially vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to manipulate data validation, leading to unauthorized access or data breaches. The impact includes potential exposure of sensitive information or unauthorized system access.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability may violate compliance requirements for data protection and encryption standards in GDPR and HIPAA. Weak cryptographic validation could lead to unauthorized data access, resulting in non-compliance penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Update IBM Security Verify Access to a version beyond 10.0.9.2 or IBM Verify Identity Access to a version beyond 11.0.3. Disable reverse proxy configurations that may allow weaker cryptographic validation until patches are applied.
