Summary

CVE-2026-13267 is a high-severity Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data (CWE-302) vulnerability in Ibm Security Verify Access. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users) good match

Mandates proper unique identification and authentication of users, precluding reliance on attacker-controlled immutable assumptions.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Requires server-side enforcement of authorizations instead of trusting client-supplied mutable data for authentication decisions.

IA-8 Identification and Authentication (Non-organizational Users) partial match

Mandates proper identification and authentication for non-organizational users, precluding reliance on attacker-controlled immutable assumptions.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Strong authentication mechanisms directly avoid reliance on attacker-controlled immutable data.

PR.AA-04 mostly match
prevents

Protecting and verifying identity assertions prevents tampering with data assumed immutable during auth.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Least-privilege authorization policies reduce impact of bypassed authentication but do not address the root flaw.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can discover and block authentication bypasses that rely on mutable data.

A.5.15 Access control partial match
degrades

Access-control policy can mandate validation of all identity data, reducing reliance on assumed-immutable fields.

A.5.16 Identity management partial match
degrades

Identity-management processes can require verification of mutable attributes, mitigating the root cause.

A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
degrades

Proper management of authentication information prevents use of client-controlled tokens or cookies as sole proof of identity.

A.5.18 Access rights partial match
mitigates

Access-rights reviews can detect and revoke rights granted via tampered immutable data.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include threat modeling and input-validation requirements that catch assumed-immutable data flaws.
