## Technical details

This vulnerability stems from improper input validation of web service API content, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution. The flaw is in the API endpoint's handling of user-supplied input, which fails to properly sanitize or validate payloads before processing. An attacker can send a crafted API request over the network to trigger arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the IdentityIQ application.
