CVE-2024-47120

Host privilege escalation via overprivileged containers

Published Sep 10, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Overprivileged containers in IBM Security Verify Information Queue 10.0.5 through 10.0.8 allow attackers to gain elevated host access. The deployment grants ISIQ containers more host-facing privileges than their functions require; IBM has not identified the specific container flags or capabilities. The attack requires a highly privileged account with adjacent-network access and can expose or alter host data or interrupt services.
