Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 10 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Since no patches are currently available, European organizations should implement specific mitigations: 1) Conduct a thorough audit of LDAP group configurations, focusing on nested groups to identify and correct any misconfigurations that could trigger improper role assignments. 2) Limit the number of users with elevated privileges and enforce the principle of least privilege to reduce potential damage from misassigned roles. 3) Implement enhanced monitoring and alerting on authentication events, especially failed logins or unexpected role changes, to detect exploitation attempts early. 4) Use network segmentation and access controls to restrict access to the AxxonOne C-Werk management interfaces to trusted hosts and users only. 5) Prepare incident response plans specifically addressing potential misuse of authentication and authorization mechanisms. 6) Engage with AxxonSoft for timely updates and patches and plan for rapid deployment once available. 7) Consider multi-factor authentication integration if supported to add an additional layer of security beyond LDAP credentials.

Description

Improper Authentication (CWE-287) in the LDAP authentication engine in AxxonSoft Axxon One (C-Werk) 2.0.2 and earlier on Windows allows a remote authenticated user to be denied access or misassigned roles via incorrect evaluation of nested LDAP group memberships during login.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-10224 can be significant in environments where AxxonOne C-Werk is deployed for video surveillance, access control, or security event management. Misassignment of roles could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive security functions or denial of service to legitimate users, potentially disrupting physical security operations. This can affect critical infrastructure sectors such as transportation, energy, government facilities, and large enterprises that depend on accurate role-based access controls. While confidentiality is not directly impacted, integrity and availability of security management systems are at risk, which could indirectly lead to broader security incidents. The requirement for valid credentials limits the attack surface but insider threats or compromised accounts could exploit this vulnerability. European organizations must consider the regulatory implications under GDPR if security controls are weakened, potentially leading to data protection violations. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but non-negligible risk that warrants prompt attention.
