CVE-2026-12618Network attack vector

Unauthorized command execution via improperly validated input

Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026

Command injection in IBM Verify Access products allows remote authenticated users with administrator privileges to execute unauthorized commands. The affected 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and 11.0 through 11.0.3 releases improperly validate user-supplied input before an undisclosed downstream command-processing path. Network access with administrator privileges is required; successful exploitation reads or alters protected data or interrupts services.
