“IBM Security Verify Access could allow a locally authenticated user to execute malicious scripts from outside of its control sphere,” the company explains.
CVE-2025-36356 is a critical vulnerability rated 9.3 on the CVSS scale. It allows local users to gain root privileges due to incorrect permission handling, giving attackers full administrative control from minimal access.
“IBM Security Verify Access could allow a locally authenticated user to escalate their privileges to root due to execution with more privileges than required,” IBM confirms in its bulletin.
CVE-2025-36354 affects systems open to unauthenticated users, allowing execution of arbitrary commands with lower privileges. It arises from improper validation of user input and, while rated 7.3, still poses a risk for externally accessible systems.
“IBM Security Verify Access could allow an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with lower user privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input,” according to IBM.
“Security vulnerabilities have been addressed in IBM Security Verify Access 10.0.9.0-IF3 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0.1.0-IF1,” the advisory states, emphasizing that organizations running earlier versions remain exposed until updates are applied.
IBM has identified the affected products and versions for both containerized and appliance deployments.
IBM Verify Identity Access (Docker & Appliance): Versions 11.0.0.0 – 11.0.1.0
IBM Security Verify Access (Docker & Appliance): Versions 10.0.0.0 – 10.0.9.0-IF2
These vulnerabilities impact systems that control access and verify identities, so it’s essential to patch them quickly for network security.
IBM has released Fix Packs 10.0.9.0-IF3 for Verify Access and 11.0.1.0-IF1 for Verify Identity Access, accessible via IBM Fix Central and container registries.
For container deployments, administrators can pull the latest versions directly from IBM’s registry:
docker pull icr.io/isva/verify-access:[latest-tag] docker pull icr.io/ivia/verify-access:[latest-tag]
Each tag corresponds to the latest patched release and can be verified on IBM’s official documentation portal.
