Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This report provides an in-depth analysis of a critical security vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-35114. This vulnerability affects Agiloft Release 28 and allows potential local privilege escalation due to the presence of accounts with default credentials. It is of high importance as it can lead to system compromise and data leakage.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-35114
\nSeverity: High (7.5 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Local
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Agiloft | Release 28<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of several accounts in Agiloft Release 28 that have default credentials. An attacker with local access can escalate their privileges by cracking the known hash of at least one of these accounts. The credentials can be cracked offline, enabling the attacker to gain unauthorized access and cause potential damage or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although no actual code is provided, a possible attack scenario could be as follows:
\n1. The attacker obtains the known password hash from the local system.
\n2. The attacker cracks the hash offline to obtain the plaintext password.
\n3. The attacker uses the cracked password to log into the system with escalated privileges.<\/p>\n

# Step 1: Obtain the known password hash\ncat \/etc\/shadow | grep agiloft_account\n# Step 2: Crack the hash offline\njohn --wordlist=password.lst hash.txt\n# Step 3: Log into the system with escalated privileges\nssh agiloft_account@target-system<\/code><\/pre>\n
Please note that the above steps are a conceptual demonstration and may not reflect the exact steps an attacker would use to exploit this vulnerability.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
Users are strongly advised to upgrade to Agiloft Release 30 to remedy this vulnerability. As a temporary mitigation, users could apply vendor patches or use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
