Summary

CVE-2025-25749 is a high-severity Weak Password Requirements (CWE-521) vulnerability in Digitaldruid Hoteldruid. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 47th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-25749 is a weakness in HotelDruid versions 3.0.7 and earlier that stems from missing password strength policy enforcement, allowing users to configure arbitrarily weak credentials. The issue is tracked as CWE-521 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, and low-privileged access without user interaction.

An authenticated attacker who can reach the application can supply weak passwords during account creation or modification. Successful exploitation may lead to credential compromise that grants the attacker elevated confidentiality and integrity access along with limited availability impact on the affected HotelDruid instance.

The single reference URL provides disclosure details but contains no information on vendor patches, configuration workarounds, or official mitigation guidance. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0133 with no material increase after publication.

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1110 Brute Force Credential Access
Adversaries may use brute force techniques to gain access to accounts when passwords are unknown or when password hashes are obtained.
T1110.001 Password Guessing Credential Access
Adversaries with no prior knowledge of legitimate credentials within the system or environment may guess passwords to attempt access to accounts.
T1110.002 Password Cracking Credential Access
Adversaries may use password cracking to attempt to recover usable credentials, such as plaintext passwords, when credential material such as password hashes are obtained.
T1110.003 Password Spraying Credential Access
Adversaries may use a single or small list of commonly used passwords against many different accounts to attempt to acquire valid account credentials.
T1133 External Remote Services Persistence
Adversaries may leverage external-facing remote services to initially access and/or persist within a network.
T1558.003 Kerberoasting Credential Access
Adversaries may abuse a valid Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) or sniff network traffic to obtain a ticket-granting service (TGS) ticket that may be vulnerable to [Brute Force](https://attack.
