The vulnerability exists due to exposure of the LoadLibraryEX feature in MsgReceiver.exe that listens on port 20001/TCP. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send message 0x0a8d to load an attacker-controlled DLL into MsgReceiver.exe, leading to execution of attacker-supplied code under the security context of SYSTEM.


2) Unchecked return value (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69259)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an unchecked return value. A remote non-authenticated attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69260)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the application.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the management console. A remote authenticated user can bypass authentication process and escalate privileges within the application.


5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71206)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling URLs in the Scheduled Update feature. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.


6) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71205)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling hub server URLs. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.


7) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71208)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the application.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the management console. A remote authenticated user can bypass authentication process and escalate privileges within the application.


8) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71207)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling URLs in the Manual Update feature. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
