Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Ping Identity PingIDM up to 7.2.2/7.3.1/7.4.1/7.5.0. Affected is some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-1220. The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability exists in PingIDM (formerly ForgeRock Identity Management) where administrators cannot properly configure access rules for Remote Connector Servers (RCS) running in client mode. This means attackers can spoof a client-mode RCS (if one exists) to intercept and/or modify an identity’s security-relevant properties, such as passwords and account recovery information. This issue is exploitable only when an RCS is configured to run in client mode.

The advisory is shared for download at backstage.forgerock.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-20628 since 01/13/2025. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation requires an enhanced level of successful authentication. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
