CVSS Analysis
Currently, a CVSS score is not available (N/A) for CVE-2025-64299. This may be due to the vulnerability being newly discovered or still under analysis. However, given the nature of password hash exposure, it is highly recommended to treat this vulnerability with high priority.
Possible Impact
The potential impact of CVE-2025-64299 is significant:
- Privilege Escalation: An administrative user could use obtained password hashes to impersonate other users, potentially gaining access to their accounts and data.
- Data Breach: If an administrative account is compromised, the exposed password hashes could be used to gain unauthorized access to a wider range of user accounts and sensitive information.
- Lateral Movement: In a compromised environment, attackers could use stolen credentials to move laterally and access other systems or resources.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
The primary mitigation step is to apply the official patch provided by LogStare. Refer to the official LogStare advisory (linked below) for detailed instructions on how to obtain and apply the patch. In the absence of a patch, consider these temporary mitigations:
- Review Administrative User Access: Carefully review and limit the number of users with administrative privileges on the LogStare Collector system.
- Monitor Administrative User Activity: Implement robust monitoring of administrative user activity to detect any suspicious behavior.
- Enforce Strong Password Policies: Ensure all users have strong, unique passwords.
- Consider temporarily disabling the system: As a last resort, until the patch has been applied, consider temporarily disabling LogStare Collector if the risk is deemed too high.
