Summary

CVE-2025-25598 is a high-severity Improper Access Control (CWE-284) vulnerability in Inovalogic Customer Monitor. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 25.3th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-25598, published on 2025-03-13, is an incorrect access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the scheduled tasks console of Inova Logic CUSTOMER MONITOR (CM) version 3.1.757.1. The flaw allows attackers to escalate privileges by placing a crafted executable into a scheduled task. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting high severity due to its potential for significant impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and without requiring user interaction (UI:N). By leveraging the flawed access controls in the scheduled tasks console, they can insert a malicious executable that executes with elevated privileges upon scheduling, enabling privilege escalation and potentially full system compromise.
