Summary
IBM Verify Directory is affected by a cross-site request forgery flaw, caused by session cookies that do not set the SameSite attribute. An attacker can remotely trick a logged-in user into clicking a link or visiting a page, which makes the user's browser send unauthorized requests to the application, though the attacker needs a low-privilege account and the victim must take an action.
