CVE-2026-1342
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 Verify Identity Access Container 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access Container 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.2 and IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.1 could allow a locally authenticated user to execute malicious scripts from outside of its control sphere.
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 confidenceThis vulnerability in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access (both container and non-container versions) allows a locally authenticated user to execute malicious scripts from outside their control sphere, representing a local privilege escalation or improper input validation issue.

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 the installed IBM productDetermine whether IBM Security Verify Access or IBM Verify Identity Access is installed on the system. Check the product name via the installed packages, service name, or application metadata.Affected if The installed product is one of the four affected products listed in the CVE (IBM Security Verify Access, IBM Security Verify Access Container, IBM Verify Identity Access, or IBM Verify Identity Access Container).
-
Determine the installed versionRetrieve the exact version number of the installed product. This is typically available via command line (for example, a version flag or package manager query), the product's web interface about section, or configuration files.Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: 10.0.0 through 10.0.9.1 for Security Verify Access products, or 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.2.0 for Verify Identity Access products.
-
Locate script execution configurationsIdentify where script execution features are configured. Look for configuration entries related to external script handling, script paths, or custom script execution within the product's configuration directory or admin interface.Affected if Script execution from arbitrary paths is permitted and the feature is enabled, allowing scripts outside the authorized control sphere to run.
-
Review file permissions on script directoriesExamine file system permissions on directories where scripts are stored or executed from. Verify that permissions restrict script execution to authorized paths only and prevent users from placing or referencing scripts outside their designated area.Affected if Permissions allow authenticated users to write or reference scripts in directories outside their authorized control sphere, enabling the privilege escalation described in the CVE.
A user is affected if they have any of the four listed products installed with a version falling within the specified ranges AND the script execution feature is configured in a way that permits execution from paths outside the authorized control sphere.

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 dataApply the vendor-provided patch from IBM for the affected versions (10.0 through 10.0.9.1 and 11.0 through 11.0.2). Prior to patching, restrict local script execution permissions and monitor authenticated user activities.
