Published: 27 March 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-30093 is a high-severity Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Wisc Htcondor. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 8.8th 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 SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-30093 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-863) in HTCondor, affecting versions 23.0.x before 23.0.22, 23.10.x before 23.10.22, 24.0.x before 24.0.6, and 24.6.x before 24.6.1. The issue enables authenticated attackers to circumvent authorization restrictions. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low complexity, and significant confidentiality and integrity impacts.
Authenticated attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and without requiring user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation allows bypassing authorization controls, potentially granting unauthorized access to sensitive data or enabling integrity violations, while availability remains unaffected (A:N).
The official HTCondor security advisory at https://htcondor.org/security/vulnerabilities/HTCONDOR-2025-0001.html provides details on mitigation, including upgrades to the patched versions: 23.0.22, 23.10.22, 24.0.6, or 24.6.1.

Why these techniques?
Authorization bypass in network-accessible HTCondor service directly enables remote exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190) and allows low-privileged authenticated users to escalate privileges by circumventing restrictions (T1068).

AC-3 requires systems to enforce approved authorizations for access to resources, directly countering the authorization bypass vulnerability in HTCondor.
SI-2 mandates identification, reporting, and timely correction of flaws like this HTCondor authorization bypass via patching to fixed versions.
AC-6 applies least privilege to limit the scope of access available to low-privileged authenticated attackers exploiting the bypass.
