CVE-2025-2411 is a high-severity vulnerability identified in Akinsoft's TaskPano software, specifically affecting versions from s1.06.04 prior to v1.06.06. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-307, which pertains to the improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. This flaw allows an attacker to bypass authentication mechanisms by exploiting the lack of adequate controls on the number of login attempts. Since the vulnerability does not require any privileges or user interaction (as indicated by the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), it can be exploited remotely over the network with low complexity. The impact on confidentiality is high, as unauthorized access can lead to exposure of sensitive information. Integrity and availability impacts are lower but still present, as unauthorized users may alter data or disrupt service. The vulnerability arises because TaskPano does not implement sufficient rate limiting or lockout policies to prevent brute force or credential stuffing attacks, enabling attackers to guess or bypass credentials until successful authentication is achieved. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the high CVSS score (8.6) underscores the critical need for remediation. The lack of available patches at the time of publication further increases risk for affected users.

For European organizations using Akinsoft TaskPano, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized access to internal systems and data. Given TaskPano's role as a task management or operational software, attackers gaining access could exfiltrate sensitive business information, manipulate task data, or disrupt workflows. This could lead to operational downtime, loss of intellectual property, and reputational damage. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit means attackers can target exposed TaskPano instances without prior access, increasing the attack surface. In sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, or services where TaskPano might be deployed, this could impact supply chain integrity and service delivery. Additionally, compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations could be jeopardized if personal or sensitive data is accessed or leaked due to this vulnerability.

Organizations should immediately verify their TaskPano version and upgrade to v1.06.06 or later once available, as this version addresses the vulnerability. In the absence of an official patch, implement compensating controls such as network-level restrictions (e.g., IP whitelisting, VPN access) to limit exposure of TaskPano interfaces to trusted users only. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) with rules to detect and block brute force login attempts. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) if supported by TaskPano or via integration with identity providers to add an additional authentication layer. Monitor authentication logs for unusual patterns indicative of brute force or credential stuffing attacks. Conduct regular password audits and enforce strong password policies. Finally, segment TaskPano systems within the network to minimize lateral movement in case of compromise.
