CVE-2025-15387 identifies a critical security vulnerability in the VPN Firewall product developed by QNO Technology, classified under CWE-331 (Insufficient Entropy). The root cause is the generation of session tokens or cryptographic values with insufficient randomness, which significantly weakens the security of user session management. This weakness enables unauthenticated remote attackers to conduct brute-force attacks against session tokens, allowing them to hijack any logged-in user session without needing valid credentials or prior authentication. The vulnerability affects all versions of the product (noted as version 0, likely indicating all current releases). The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 reflects the high impact and ease of exploitation: the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), no authentication (AT:N), and no user interaction (UI:P). The vulnerability severely compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H, VI:H, VA:H) of the affected systems. Once exploited, attackers can gain unauthorized access to the VPN firewall's administrative interface or user sessions, potentially allowing them to intercept or manipulate VPN traffic, disrupt network operations, or pivot to internal networks. No patches are currently available, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild, but the vulnerability's characteristics suggest it could be weaponized rapidly. The vulnerability's presence in a VPN firewall—a critical network security device—amplifies its risk, as it can undermine the security perimeter of organizations relying on QNO Technology's products for secure remote access.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-15387 is substantial. VPN firewalls are pivotal in securing remote access and protecting internal networks from external threats. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive corporate networks, exposing confidential data and intellectual property. Attackers could intercept or manipulate VPN traffic, leading to data breaches or espionage. The integrity of network security policies could be compromised, allowing attackers to deploy malware or conduct lateral movement within the network. Availability could also be affected if attackers disrupt VPN services or lock out legitimate users. Sectors such as finance, government, healthcare, and critical infrastructure in Europe, which heavily rely on secure VPN connections, would face elevated risks. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation and lack of authentication requirements increase the likelihood of attacks, potentially resulting in significant operational disruption and financial losses.

Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Monitoring network traffic and VPN firewall logs for unusual brute-force attempts or anomalous session activities indicative of token guessing attacks. 2) Implementing network segmentation to isolate VPN firewalls from less trusted networks and limit attacker lateral movement if compromise occurs. 3) Applying strict rate limiting and account lockout policies on VPN login attempts to hinder brute-force exploitation. 4) Deploying multi-factor authentication (MFA) for VPN access to add an additional security layer beyond session tokens. 5) Restricting administrative access to VPN firewalls to trusted IP addresses and using out-of-band management where possible. 6) Preparing for patch deployment by engaging with QNO Technology for updates or workarounds, and testing patches in controlled environments before production rollout. 7) Educating security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid detection and response. 8) Considering temporary alternative VPN solutions if patching is delayed, to maintain secure remote access.
