CVE-2024-49805Network attack vector

Unauthenticated compromise via hard-coded appliance credentials

Published Nov 29, 2024 · Updated Nov 29, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in IBM Security Verify Access Appliance 10.0.0 through 10.0.8 allow remote attackers to gain unauthorized access. IBM identifies the affected locus only as the appliance management interface and does not disclose the embedded credential or the operation that exposes or accepts it. Network access is sufficient, with no prior authentication or user action; successful use permits appliance data access and modification and can interrupt service.
