Technical Analysis
IBM Security Verify Access versions 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access versions 11.0 through 11.0.3 contain a CWE-674 Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by triggering uncontrolled recursion, leading to resource exhaustion and service disruption. The vulnerability requires network access with high attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in denial of service, impacting the availability of IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access services. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The attack vector is network-based, but the attack complexity is high, and no privileges or user interaction are required.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the IBM vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider limiting network exposure of affected services and monitor for unusual service disruptions related to recursion or resource exhaustion.
