Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

ColdFusion | 2025.2, 2023.14, 2021.20, and earlier versions

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in the affected application. By injecting malicious XML or XPath queries, an attacker can manipulate the application into reading unauthorized files from the server. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, denial of service, or even full system compromise.

Conceptual Example Code

The following conceptual example demonstrates how the vulnerability might be exploited:

POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/xml
<xml>
<query><![CDATA[ ' or '1'='1' or ' ]]></query>
</xml>

In this example, the attacker uses a classic ‘OR’ injection in the XML data to manipulate the application’s logic. If improperly sanitized, this request could allow the attacker to read unauthorized files from the server. The actual malicious payload may vary depending on the specific application’s logic and the attacker’s intent.

Mitigation Guidance

Users of affected versions are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it is available. In the meantime, the use of Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation by detecting and blocking suspicious XML or XPath queries.

User Interaction: None
Impact: Potential system compromise or data leakage

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

Capability Access Management Service | All versions prior to the patch

How the Exploit Works

This exploit takes advantage of a race condition in the Capability Access Management Service. A race condition is a flaw that occurs when the output of a process is dependent on the sequence or timing of other uncontrollable events. In this case, the attacker can manipulate the timing or sequence of events in the camsvc to gain unauthorized elevated privileges. This is done by concurrently executing using a shared resource with improper synchronization.

Conceptual Example Code

Here is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:

$ while true; do
>    if [ -r /path/to/shared/resource ]; then
>        cp /path/to/shared/resource /tmp
>        chmod 777 /tmp/resource
>        ./malicious_code /tmp/resource
>        break
>    fi
> done

In this example, an attacker continuously checks if a shared resource is readable. Once it is, the attacker copies the resource, changes its permissions to be fully accessible, and then executes their malicious code on the resource.

Mitigation Guidance

The recommended mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by the vendor. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as temporary mitigation. These solutions can help detect and prevent unauthorized access attempts.

Overview

The vulnerability CVE-2025-41256 highlights an improper handling of TLS certificate pinning in Cyberduck and Mountain Duck. The affected software fails to properly pin untrusted certificates, particularly self-signed ones, due to the usage of the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, which is known to be weak. This vulnerability could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage, posing a significant risk to users and organizations who rely on these software for their operations.

Vulnerability Summary

CVE ID: CVE-2025-41256
Severity: High (7.4/10)
Attack Vector: Network
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: Required
Impact: Potential system compromise or data leakage

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

Cyberduck | up to 9.1.6
Mountain Duck | up to 4.17.5

How the Exploit Works

The exploiter can take advantage of this vulnerability by posing as a legitimate entity and presenting a self-signed certificate. Since the software improperly pins this untrusted certificate and stores the certificate fingerprint as weak SHA-1, it becomes susceptible to a ‘man-in-the-middle’ (MitM) attack. By intercepting and altering communications between two parties, an attacker could potentially compromise the system or leak sensitive data.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. In this case, the attacker presents a self-signed certificate during the TLS handshake.

POST /tls-handshake HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/tls-certificate
{ "certificate": "self-signed-certificate", "fingerprint": "SHA-1-fingerprint" }

Upon receiving this request, the vulnerable software would improperly pin the untrusted self-signed certificate, opening up the possibility for a ‘man-in-the-middle’ attack.
