Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 17.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-28410 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in RuoYi version 4.8.0. The cancelAuthUserAll method fails to verify that the requesting user holds administrative privileges, enabling unauthorized actions within the application.
A remote attacker can exploit the flaw over the network without authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the attacker elevated privileges, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected in the CVSS 9.8 base score.
Public references consist of GitHub repositories containing case details for the related CVE-2025-28409 and the upstream RuoYi project source; no specific patch, advisory, or mitigation guidance is provided in the available references. The EPSS score remains low, with a current value of 0.0167 and a recorded peak of 0.0250.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
The access control policy and procedures directly mandate and enforce proper access control mechanisms across the organization.
Device lock enforces restricted access until re-authentication, directly reducing unauthorized use of active sessions.
Supervision and review of access control activities directly detects and remediates improper access configurations or usages.
Explicitly identifying and documenting actions permitted without identification or authentication enforces proper access control boundaries by defining justified exceptions.
By automatically labeling outputs with security attributes, the control supports attribute-based enforcement and reduces exploitability of improper access control weaknesses.
Associating and retaining security attributes with data directly supports enforcement of access control decisions across storage, processing, and transmission.
Requiring prior authorization for each remote access type prevents improper access control over remote connections.
Requiring authorization of wireless access before allowing connections enforces proper access control for this access method.
