CVE-2025-1416 is a high-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) affecting the Proget MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution, specifically its Konsola Proget server component. The vulnerability allows a low-privileged user to retrieve passwords for managed devices within the MDM environment. This unauthorized access enables the attacker to leverage functionalities that are normally restricted by the MDM, potentially leading to unauthorized device management actions. Exploitation requires knowledge of the UUIDs of targeted devices, which are unique identifiers for managed endpoints. These UUIDs may be obtained by chaining this vulnerability with related flaws, specifically CVE-2025-1415 or CVE-2025-1417, which likely facilitate UUID disclosure or enumeration. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have low-level privileges within the system, indicating an insider threat or a compromised low-privilege account scenario. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N) indicates that the attack can be performed remotely over a network with low attack complexity, requires partial authentication, no user interaction, and results in high confidentiality and scope impact, affecting resources beyond the initially compromised component. The issue has been addressed in version 2.17.5 of Konsola Proget, emphasizing the importance of timely patching. No known exploits are currently in the wild, but the potential for chaining with other vulnerabilities increases the risk profile.

For European organizations using Proget MDM, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of managed devices. Unauthorized retrieval of device passwords can lead to unauthorized access and control over corporate mobile devices, potentially exposing sensitive corporate data, enabling lateral movement within networks, or facilitating further compromise of enterprise IT infrastructure. Given the critical role of MDM solutions in enforcing security policies, this flaw undermines trust in device management and could disrupt operational continuity. Organizations in sectors with stringent data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, face heightened regulatory and reputational risks if exploited. The ability to chain this vulnerability with others increases the attack surface and complexity, potentially allowing attackers to escalate privileges or bypass additional security controls.

European organizations should immediately verify their Proget MDM version and upgrade to version 2.17.5 or later, where this vulnerability is patched. Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict access controls and monitoring for low-privileged accounts within the MDM environment to detect anomalous activities, such as unusual queries for device UUIDs or password retrieval attempts. Network segmentation should be enforced to limit access to the MDM server, restricting it to trusted administrative networks. Employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all MDM user accounts can reduce the risk of credential compromise. Additionally, organizations should audit and rotate device passwords regularly and monitor logs for signs of exploitation attempts. Since exploitation requires knowledge of device UUIDs, securing endpoints and preventing leakage of such identifiers through other vulnerabilities or misconfigurations is critical. Incident response plans should be updated to include scenarios involving MDM compromise.
