Overview
CVE-2025-11446 is a vulnerability affecting upKeeper Solutions upKeeper Manager, specifically versions 5.2.0 up to, but not including, 5.2.12. This vulnerability involves the insertion of sensitive information, namely domain credentials, into log files. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access and compromise of the affected system and network.
Technical Details
The vulnerability occurs because upKeeper Manager inadvertently logs domain credentials during certain operations. This sensitive data is then stored in a plain-text format within the log files, making it accessible to anyone with access to those logs. An attacker could potentially leverage these exposed credentials to gain unauthorized access to the upKeeper Manager system, the domain, or other connected resources.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, the CVSS score and severity level are listed as N/A. However, the potential for sensitive credential leakage suggests that the impact could be significant depending on the context of the deployment. While a CVSS score isn’t available yet, the potential for credential compromise makes this a serious issue requiring immediate attention.
Possible Impact
The potential impact of CVE-2025-11446 is significant and includes:
- Unauthorized Access: Attackers can use the exposed credentials to gain unauthorized access to the upKeeper Manager system.
- Lateral Movement: Compromised domain credentials can be used to move laterally within the network, accessing other systems and resources.
- Data Breach: Access to the upKeeper Manager system and the wider network could lead to a data breach and loss of sensitive information.
- System Compromise: Attackers could potentially compromise the entire upKeeper Manager system, leading to disruption of services and data integrity issues.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
The recommended mitigation is to upgrade upKeeper Manager to version 5.2.12 or later. This version contains a fix that prevents the logging of sensitive credentials. Follow these steps:
- Backup: Before upgrading, create a full backup of your upKeeper Manager system.
- Download the Patch: Download the latest version (5.2.12 or later) of upKeeper Manager from the official upKeeper Solutions website.
- Install the Update: Follow the upgrade instructions provided by upKeeper Solutions.
- Verify the Fix: After upgrading, verify that the issue is resolved by testing the functionality that previously logged sensitive data. Confirm that the log files no longer contain any domain credentials.
- Review Log Files: Review existing log files for any potentially exposed credentials. If found, consider rotating the affected credentials to prevent unauthorized access.
