CVE-2026-44159

01

Who is affected

Tyler Identity Local (TID‑L) – a legacy identity management product that has not been distributed since December 2020 and has not been supported since 2021.

An attacker who discovers the default credentials can log in as an administrator, gaining full control over the system, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and to install additional malicious software.

03

Why this severity

The CVSS score of 9.3 reflects the very high impact of a successful exploit: the attacker can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the entire system, and the attack requires no special privileges or user interaction.
