Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.


1) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69258)

CWE-ID: CWE-749 - Exposed Dangerous Method or Function

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Red


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

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)

CWE-ID: CWE-252 - Unchecked Return Value

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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.


4) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71209)

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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