CVE-2026-1346: CWE-250 Execution with Unnecessary Privileges in IBM Verify Identity Access Container
CVE-2026-1346 is a critical vulnerability in IBM Verify Identity Access Container and IBM Security Verify Access Container versions 10. 0 through 11. 0. 2. It allows a locally authenticated user to escalate privileges to root by exploiting execution with unnecessary privileges. The vulnerability is due to the software running processes with higher privileges than required. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9. 3, indicating a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-1346) affects IBM Verify Identity Access Container versions 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container versions 10.0 through 10.0.9.1. It stems from execution with unnecessary privileges, allowing a locally authenticated user to escalate their privileges to root. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting local attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required initially, no user interaction, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation level has been published by IBM as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
A locally authenticated user can escalate privileges to root, potentially gaining full control over the affected system. This can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system running IBM Verify Identity Access Container or IBM Security Verify Access Container within the affected versions. No known exploits are reported in the wild yet.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or remediation level is provided, organizations should monitor IBM's advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and apply the principle of least privilege to limit exposure.
