Risk Analysis

This critical vulnerability in IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access Container involves hard-coded credentials, which could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access or control. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this flaw poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. The lack of an EPSS score means its exploitation likelihood is currently unknown, but its critical severity warrants immediate attention.

No public exploit is currently known for this vulnerability. However, its remote exploitability (AV:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L) mean that if an exploit were to emerge, it could be easily leveraged by attackers.

Recommended Action

Administrators should review configurations of IBM Security Verify Access and IBM Verify Identity Access Container to ensure hard-coded credentials are not present or are properly secured. Update to the latest versions or apply vendor-provided patches to address this vulnerability.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-36087 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
