CVE-2026-1346

Root escalation via unnecessary privileged execution

Published Apr 8, 2026 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Privilege escalation in affected IBM Verify Access 10.0 and 11.0 products allows local users to obtain root privileges. IBM identifies execution with unnecessary privileges but does not disclose the affected component, privileged operation, or attacker-controlled input. Access requires a locally authenticated session, and successful exploitation crosses into root with full control of the appliance or container.
