CVE-2025-36003
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager 10.0.2 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information when detailed technical error messages are returned. This information could be used in further attacks against the system.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager 10.0.2 returns detailed technical error messages to users, allowing remote attackers to potentially obtain sensitive system information such as file paths, configuration details, or internal architecture that could aid in further exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager is installedCheck for the installation directory (commonly at /opt/ibm/isvg or C:\Program Files\ibm\isvg on Windows) or look for the ISVG service/process running on the system.Affected if The product is installed on the system
-
Confirm the installed version is 10.0.2Check the version file or use the product's administrative console to view the installed version. Common locations: version.txt in the installation directory, or the 'About' section in the admin UI.Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.0.2
-
Determine if custom error handlers are configuredInspect the web.xml or error-page configuration files in the application deployment (typically under WEB-INF/web.xml or in the application server configuration). Look for <error-page> entries.Affected if No custom error handlers are defined or the handlers return stack traces
-
Check if debug mode is enabledReview the application configuration files (such as fimConfig.xml, logger.properties, or the IBM Security Verify admin configuration) for debug=true or similar debug-enabling settings.Affected if Debug mode or verbose error reporting is enabled in the configuration
A user is affected if IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager version 10.0.2 is installed with debug/error modes enabled or without custom sanitized error handlers.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataConfigure the application to display generic error messages in production and suppress detailed stack traces or technical information. Ensure debug/error modes are disabled and custom error handlers return sanitized, user-friendly messages.
