CVE-2025-11969

Summary

The System REST APIs lack proper access control, letting low-privilege users perform administrative actions they should not be authorized to execute.

Exploitability

Exploitation is straightforward for authenticated low-privilege users with network access to the affected APIs; no user interaction or special conditions required.

Blast radius

An attacker could gain unauthorized administrative control over the system, leading to potential data manipulation, service disruption, or further lateral movement within the environment.

Detection

Monitor for administrative API calls (e.g., POST/PUT to /system/* endpoints) originating from users assigned only non-administrative roles; look for anomalous privilege escalation in audit logs or role-based access control (RBAC) telemetry.

Prioritized remediation

Apply the vendor patch for version 2.590 or later, as this is the fixed release that corrects the access control flaw in the System REST APIs.
