iDSecure: NULL Pointer Dereference
CVE-2026-92626 is a high-severity NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in iDSecure from Control iD, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 4.8.3.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating iDSecure to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.46% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update iDSecure to 4.8.3.0 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions

Official description
Control iD iDSecure versions prior to 4.8.3.0 are affected by an unauthenticated Denial of Service. The /api/dguardintegration/dguardVersion endpoint dereferences DGuard integration login state that may be unset, raising an unhandled null reference exception. The exception is thrown from an asynchronous method that returns void, so it is not observed by a caller and can terminate the iDSecure process.

The underlying weakness: NULL Pointer Dereference
The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished.
- Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
