Senators are challenging the continued reliance of the Treasury and the IRS on IDMe for identity verification, despite a 2022 IRS pledge to move away from it. The article states the service is still in use for the 2027 filing season. It gives no CVE, technical flaw or breach details, so the issue appears to be one of policy and vendor dependency rather than a known vulnerability.
