Summary

CVE-2025-15553 is a medium-severity Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613) vulnerability in Truesec Lapswebui. Its CVSS base score is 6.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Browser Session Hijacking (T1185); ranked at the 1th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-12 (Session Termination) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-15553 affects Truesec’s LAPSWebUI in versions prior to 2.4, where the logout functionality fails to operate correctly. This vulnerability, tracked under CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration), enables privilege escalation by disclosing local administrator passwords. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1, reflecting local vector access (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), low privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), high confidentiality and integrity impacts (C:H/I:H), and no availability impact (A:N). The issue was published on 2026-03-16.

An attacker with physical or logical access to an affected workstation and possessing low-level privileges can exploit the broken logout mechanism. By leveraging this flaw with low complexity and no need for user interaction, the attacker can disclose the local admin password, enabling privilege escalation on the system.

The advisory from Reversec Labs at https://labs.reversec.com/advisories/2026/03/insecure-logout-functionality-in-truesec-lapswebui provides details on the vulnerability. Mitigation requires upgrading to LAPSWebUI version 2.4 or later, which addresses the logout functionality issue.

Adversaries may take control of preexisting sessions with remote services to move laterally in an environment.
T1539 Steal Web Session Cookie Credential Access
An adversary may steal web application or service session cookies and use them to gain access to web applications or Internet services as an authenticated user without needing credentials.
