CVE-2025-49081: Input validation vulnerability in the Secure Access prior to version 13.55
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.50% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Absolute Security Secure Access 13.55.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Absolute Security Secure Access 13.55 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
There is an insufficient input validation vulnerability in the warehouse component of Absolute Secure Access prior to server version 13.55. Attackers with system administrator permissions can impair the availability of the Secure Access administrative UI by writing invalid data to the warehouse over the network. The attack complexity is low, there are no attack requirements, privileges required are high, and there is no user interaction required. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity; the impact on availability is high.
