CVE-2026-75120: Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability identified in the OpenText™ EnCase SAFE Agents
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 37/100)
- 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: 0.41% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response SAFE 25.4.3; OpenText Endpoint Investigator SAFE 25.4.3; OpenText Endpoint Security SAFE 25.1.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response SAFE 25.4.3; OpenText Endpoint Investigator SAFE 25.4.3; OpenText Endpoint Security SAFE 25.1.2 or later.
