CVE-2023-30999

Summary

CVE-2023-30999 is a vulnerability that affects IBM Security Access Manager Container, specifically IBM Security Verify Access Appliance 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.6.1 and IBM Security Verify Access Docker 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.6.1. This vulnerability could potentially allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by exploiting uncontrolled resource consumption. The risk score for this vulnerability is 26, indicating a high level of severity. The exploitability score is 3.9 out of 10, and the base severity is rated as high with a score of 7.5 out of 10. The attack vector is through the network, and no user interaction or privileges are required for exploitation to occur. The potential impact on availability is rated as high, while integrity and confidentiality impacts are none. To remediate this vulnerability, it would be advisable to update the affected products to versions beyond 10.0.6.1, where the issue has been addressed by IBM Security Access Manager Container's developers. This vulnerability poses a significant danger to organizations using the affected IBM Security products as it allows an attacker to disrupt the availability of these systems without requiring any user interaction or elevated privileges for exploitation to occur, potentially leading to service outages and business disruptions.
