CVE-2026-12358: CWE-674 Uncontrolled Recursion in IBM Verify Identity Access
IBM Verify Identity Access could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to insufficient validation of incoming request resources.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
IBM Verify Identity Access contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability (CWE-674) that could be triggered remotely by an attacker sending specially crafted requests. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of incoming request resources, which may lead to denial of service conditions. The affected versions explicitly identified are 10.0.0 and 11.0.0. No CVSS score or vendor advisory detailing patch availability is provided.
Potential Impact
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service on the affected IBM Verify Identity Access systems by triggering uncontrolled recursion. This could disrupt service availability but does not indicate compromise of confidentiality or integrity based on the available data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, monitor for unusual request patterns that may trigger recursion and consider applying any recommended temporary mitigations from IBM once published.
