Workarounds and Mitigations

How To Apply the Fix

  1. Open the OpenShift console and navigate to Administration > CustomResourceDefinitions. 
  2. Search for coreidp.
  3. Show coreidp instances.
  4. Select the instance associated with your MAS installation;
  5. Edit Coreidp CR for your instance with the following under spec.settings field:
  6. Under the spec.settings field, add the following configuration, replacing <version> with the value specified in the table above for your MAS release:
    spec:
  settings:
    imageTags:
      coreidplogin: <version>
  7. Save the change. This will trigger the Coreidp Entity Manager operator to reconcile and recreate the coreidp-login deployment automatically.
  8. Wait for the new deployment to become ready, then follow the validation steps below. 

    IMPORTANT    : Only remove the imageTags override from the Suite settings AFTER updating to the October 2026 monthly update or later, as earlier versions do not include the fix. Removing it before that point will revert your installation to the vulnerable version.

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
