CVE-2025-48428 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-48428: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information (CWE-312) in the Gallagher Morpho integration could allow an authenticated user with access to the Command Centre Server to export a specific signing key while in use allowing them to deploy a compromised or counterfeit device on that site. This issue affects Command Centre Server: 9.20 prior to vEL9.20.2819 (MR4), 9.10 prior to vEL9.10.3672 (MR7), 9.00 prior to vEL9.00.3831 (MR8), all versions of 8.90 and prior.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-48428

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-48428 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2025-48428

The exploitability of CVE-2025-48428 is influenced by multiple factors. Security teams should analyze system configurations and apply appropriate countermeasures to mitigate threats.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-48428, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2025-48428, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: High
    Exploiting CVE-2025-48428 can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, severely compromising data privacy.
  • Integrity: High
    CVE-2025-48428 could allow unauthorized modifications to data, potentially affecting system reliability and trust.
  • Availability: High
    CVE-2025-48428 can disrupt system operations, potentially causing complete denial of service (DoS).

CWE-312

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data CAPEC-37 An attacker examines a target system to find sensitive data that has been embedded within it. This information can reveal confidential contents, such as account numbers or individual keys/credentials that can be used as an intermediate step in a larger attack.
