CVE-2025-13833 Details
Description
A vulnerability exists in SecureConnector for Windows when the “Additional Appliance Connections” setting is enabled and the agent’s configuration file contains more than three trusted‑server entries. Some entries omit TLS certificate fingerprints, which allows the agent to accept and establish sessions with a malicious server. An attacker who controls the wired or wireless network can redirect traffic to a malicious server. The attacker can then use the agent’s built‑in command/file features to execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM, granting full administrative control and the ability to disable endpoint protections or exfiltrate data.
A vulnerability in SecureConnector for Windows arises when the 'Additional Appliance Connections' setting is activated and the agent's configuration file includes more than three trusted-server entries. Some of these entries lack TLS certificate fingerprints, enabling the agent to accept and connect with a malicious server. An attacker controlling the wired or wireless network can redirect traffic to this malicious server. Subsequently, the attacker can exploit the agent's built-in command and file features to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges, thereby gaining full administrative control. This access allows for the disabling of endpoint protections or the exfiltration of data.
