CVE-2025-1416 in Konsola MDM
Summary
by MITRE • 05/21/2025
In Proget MDM, a low-privileged user can retrieve passwords for managed devices and subsequently use functionalities restricted by the MDM (Mobile Device Management). For it to happen, they must know the UUIDs of targetted devices, which might be obtained by exploiting CVE-2025-1415 or CVE-2025-1417.
This issue has been fixed in 2.17.5 version of Konsola Proget (server part of the MDM suite).

CVE-2025-1416 represents a critical privilege escalation vulnerability within Proget MDM systems that allows low-privileged users to access sensitive device credentials and subsequently exploit restricted MDM functionalities. This vulnerability operates through a combination of weak access controls and insufficient input validation mechanisms within the device management framework. The flaw specifically enables unauthorized users to retrieve passwords associated with managed devices, effectively undermining the core security posture of the mobile device management solution. The attack requires knowledge of target device UUIDs, which can be obtained through auxiliary vulnerabilities CVE-2025-1415 or CVE-2025-1417, creating a chained attack vector that demonstrates the interconnected nature of security weaknesses in enterprise mobile management platforms. This vulnerability directly maps to CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and CWE-312 (Sensitive Data Exposure) categories, as it involves both unauthorized access to restricted resources and the exposure of confidential authentication credentials. The operational impact extends beyond simple credential theft, as compromised device passwords enable attackers to assume full administrative control over managed endpoints, potentially leading to widespread data breaches and unauthorized access to corporate networks. This issue aligns with ATT&CK technique T1078 (Valid Accounts) and T1531 (Account Access Removal), as it leverages legitimate device management interfaces to gain elevated privileges while potentially masking malicious activities within normal operational patterns. The vulnerability affects the server-side components of the Konsola Proget MDM suite, where authentication and authorization mechanisms fail to properly validate user privileges when accessing device credential information. The remediation in version 2.17.5 addresses these access control weaknesses through enhanced validation checks and stricter enforcement of user permissions, ensuring that only authorized administrators can retrieve device passwords and access restricted MDM functionalities. Organizations utilizing Proget MDM should immediately implement the patched version and conduct comprehensive security assessments to identify potential exploitation of related vulnerabilities. The incident highlights the critical importance of maintaining proper segmentation between user roles and administrative functions within mobile device management systems, particularly when handling sensitive device credentials and access controls. This vulnerability demonstrates how seemingly isolated security flaws can combine to create significant operational risks, emphasizing the need for holistic security approaches in enterprise mobile management environments and the importance of regular security updates and patch management procedures.
