An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16916 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Security Verify Access. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16916/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16916","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gvq5-whrm-cf4v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Identity Access","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code in IBM Verify Identity Access due to a protection mechanism failure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"security_verify_access","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"security_verify_access_container","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"verify_identity_access","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"verify_identity_access_container","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-693","name":"Protection Mechanism Failure"}],"description":"IBM Security Verify Access 10.0 through 10.0.9.2 and IBM Verify Identity Access 11.0 through 11.0.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to a protection mechanism failure.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-16916","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:security_verify_access","products":["ibm:security_verify_access"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-16917"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-16915"},"products":["Security Verify Access","Security Verify Access Container","Verify Identity Access","Verify Identity Access Container"],"published":"2026-10-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-78401","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-78406","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Security Verify Access Appliance command execution","id":"CVE-2024-49803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-39070","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-02"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"IBM Security Verify Access Appliance hard coded credentials","id":"CVE-2024-49805","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"IBM Security Verify Access Appliance hard coded credentials","id":"CVE-2024-49806","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-29"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security Vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-1346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-10","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code in IBM Verify Identity Access due to a protection mechanism failure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16916/"}
