SailPoint has disclosed a critical vulnerability in its IdentityIQ identity management product. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-12342, arises from insufficient input validation in the web service API.
According to the advisory released on September 28, 2026, an attacker located on an adjacent network can send specially crafted content that bypasses validation checks. This allows unauthenticated remote code execution directly on the IdentityIQ server.
The CVSSv3.1 base score for the vulnerability is 9.6, placing it in the highest severity category of Critical. The issue requires no authentication and can be exploited over an adjacent network segment.
SailPoint has made patches available for all supported affected versions of IdentityIQ. The company stated that future patch releases will also incorporate the fix.
