How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-35115 exploit takes advantage of the fact that Agiloft Release 28 downloads critical system packages over an insecure HTTP connection. An attacker who is capable of intercepting this connection-often referred to as a Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacker-can modify or replace the contents of the download URL. This could lead to the installation of malicious packages, effectively compromising the system.
Conceptual Example Code
To understand how the exploit might work, consider the following conceptual example of an HTTP request:
GET /critical/package/download HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-host.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
[Binary data]In a secure environment, the binary data would represent the legitimate system package. In the context of this vulnerability, a MITM attacker could replace this data with a malicious package, leading to system compromise when the package is installed.
Mitigation Measures
The most effective mitigation measure for CVE-2025-35115 is to upgrade to Agiloft Release 30, as recommended by the vendor. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, users can apply a vendor patch or use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation. However, these measures do not fully eliminate the vulnerability, but rather reduce the risk of exploitation. Therefore, upgrading to a secure version should be considered a priority.
