CVE-2026-11921: CWE-522 Insufficiently Protected Credentials in IBM Verify Identity Access
IBM Verify Identity Access containers may not apply management password change operations correctly.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-11921 identifies a vulnerability in IBM Verify Identity Access where containerized deployments may not properly apply management password change operations. This results in credentials being insufficiently protected, potentially exposing sensitive authentication information. The affected versions are exactly 10.0.0 and 11.0.0. There is no available CVSS score or detailed vendor advisory indicating patch availability or mitigation steps.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability could allow credentials used for management operations to remain unchanged or improperly secured, increasing the risk of unauthorized access if these credentials are compromised. However, no active exploitation has been reported, and the exact impact depends on the deployment and usage of the affected containers.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix or guidance is provided by IBM, administrators should verify that management password changes are correctly applied and consider additional credential management controls.
