Description
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-62586 is a critical vulnerability in OPEXUS FOIAXpress software that enables a remote, unauthenticated attacker to reset the administrator password. The issue, classified under CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), affects FOIAXpress versions prior to 11.13.2.0 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for complete system compromise.
A remote attacker with network access to the FOIAXpress instance can exploit this vulnerability without authentication, privileges, or user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to reset the administrator password, granting full administrative control over the application. This could enable unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of configurations, or further lateral movement within the environment hosting FOIAXpress.
Mitigation is addressed in the official FOIAXpress release notes for version 11.13.2.0, which explicitly fixes this vulnerability. Security practitioners should upgrade to FOIAXpress 11.13.2.0 or later. Additional details are available in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog advisory (va-25-289-01) and the official CVE record.
