Attack Vector: Adjacent
Attack Complexity: Low

User Interaction: None
Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: None
Integrity: None
Availability: High

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

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared physical (e.g., Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11) or logical (e.g., local IP subnet) network, or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN to an administrative network zone).
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: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-25207, organizations should implement strict access controls to limit developer persona privileges only to trusted users. Monitoring and auditing callback registrations can help detect abnormal spikes indicative of exploitation attempts. Applying rate limiting or throttling mechanisms on the number of callbacks per developer persona is critical to prevent resource exhaustion. If possible, deploy multiple instances of Authorino with load balancing to reduce single points of failure. Organizations should also track updates from Red Hat for patches or configuration guidance addressing this vulnerability. In the absence of an official patch, consider disabling or restricting the callback feature for post-authorization processing if not essential. Additionally, implement runtime resource monitoring and alerting on Authorino service metrics to detect early signs of DoS conditions. Finally, conduct regular security reviews of developer access and callback configurations to ensure compliance with least privilege principles.

Description

The Authorino service in the Red Hat Connectivity Link is the authorization service for zero trust API security. Authorino allows the users with developer persona to add callbacks to be executed to HTTP endpoints once the authorization process is completed. It was found that an attacker with developer persona access can add a large number of those callbacks to be executed by Authorino and as the authentication policy is enforced by a single instance of the service, this leada to a Denial of Service in Authorino while processing the post-authorization callbacks.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-25207 is a Denial of Service condition in the Authorino authorization service, leading to unavailability of API authorization enforcement. This can disrupt critical API security controls, potentially halting API access or causing service outages for applications relying on Authorino. Since Authorino is a core component of Red Hat Connectivity Link's zero trust API security, its failure can degrade the overall security posture and operational continuity of organizations. The vulnerability requires developer-level access, which limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with multiple developers or where developer credentials may be compromised. The lack of confidentiality or integrity impact reduces the risk of data breaches, but availability disruption can have cascading effects on dependent services and business operations. Organizations using Authorino 1.0.1 in production should consider this a significant operational risk, particularly in high-availability or security-sensitive deployments.
