CVE-2026-11921Network attack vector

Continued old-password access after management password change

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026

Password-update failure in IBM Verify Identity Access containers allows old management credentials to remain valid. IBM identifies the container management password-change operation as the failing locus but has not published the implementation defect. Reaching the operation requires authenticated management access, and the reported consequence is limited to continued access with the unchanged password.
