CVE-2025-15630 in Omada Gateways
Summary
by MITRE • 08/03/2026
A race condition exists in the cloud-based Omada device adoption process when an attacker may be able to interact with the adoption workflow before a legitimate device completes registration, resulting in provisioning information being delivered to an attacker.
Successful exploitation may allow disclosure of provisioning information intended for a legitimate device.

A race condition vulnerability in cloud-based Omada device adoption processes creates a critical security weakness that allows attackers to intercept provisioning information meant for legitimate devices. This flaw emerges during the device registration workflow where timing dependencies between authentication and configuration delivery create opportunities for malicious actors to manipulate the adoption process before legitimate devices complete their registration sequence.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability stems from insufficient synchronization mechanisms within the device adoption protocol. When a device attempts to register with the cloud management system, multiple concurrent processes must coordinate to ensure proper provisioning information delivery. The race condition occurs because the system does not adequately validate or lock the adoption state during the transition period between initial device contact and final registration completion. This timing gap enables attackers to submit their own device registration requests or manipulate existing workflows before legitimate devices finish their authentication process.
From an operational perspective, successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive network configuration data, device credentials, and management parameters that should remain confidential to authorized administrators. The disclosure of provisioning information may include administrative passwords, network credentials, device identifiers, and other configuration details that could facilitate further attacks within the network infrastructure. This risk is particularly significant in enterprise environments where Omada devices serve as critical network management points.
The vulnerability aligns with CWE-367, which addresses time-of-check to time-of-use flaws in system security, and represents a classic example of improper resource management during concurrent operations. From an attack framework perspective, this weakness maps to multiple ATT&CK techniques including T1078 for valid accounts usage and T1566 for credential harvesting through social engineering or system manipulation. Organizations may find that attackers exploit this condition by rapidly submitting device registration requests or by maintaining persistent connections to interfere with legitimate adoption workflows.
Mitigation strategies should focus on implementing robust synchronization mechanisms within the adoption process, including mandatory state validation checks before provisioning information delivery and enhanced authentication protocols during device registration. Network segmentation and monitoring of adoption workflow activities can help detect anomalous behavior patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. Additionally, organizations should consider implementing device attestation processes and cryptographic verification to ensure that only legitimate devices receive provisioning information, thereby closing the window of opportunity for attackers to manipulate the adoption sequence.
