CVE-2025-24527
Published: 29 January 2025
Description
Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-24527 affects Akamai Enterprise Application Access (EAA) versions prior to 2025-01-17. The vulnerability stems from improper permission assignment (CWE-732), allowing an administrator who knows another tenant's 128-bit connector GUID to execute debug commands on that connector. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.0 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity with network accessibility but requiring high privileges and attack complexity.
Exploitation is feasible by a high-privileged administrator (PR:H) with network access to the EAA deployment and prior knowledge of the target tenant's 128-bit connector GUID, which contributes to the high attack complexity (AC:H). Successful attacks enable execution of debug commands on the victim's connector, potentially resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the scoped environment (S:C).
Akamai's EAA changelog provides details on mitigation, including the fix introduced in version 2025-01-17. Security practitioners should consult the advisories at https://techdocs.akamai.com/eaa/changelog and https://techdocs.akamai.com/eaa/changelog/january-29-2025 for patching instructions and upgrade guidance.
