## Overview

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.

## Affected

- `security_verify_access >= 10.0.0, < 10.0.9.3`
- `security_verify_access_container >= 10.0.0.0, <= 10.0.9.2`
- `verify_identity_access >= 11.0, < 11.0.3.1`
- `verify_identity_access_container >= 11.0.0.0, <= 11.0.3.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `security_verify_access 10.0.9.3`
- `verify_identity_access 11.0.3.1`
