Integrity: High
Availability: High

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

Attack Vector: Physical: The attack requires the attacker to physically touch or manipulate the vulnerable component. Physical interaction may be brief or persistent.
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to 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.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting physical and local access to workstations, especially those running vulnerable versions of One Identity Password Manager. 2. Disable or restrict the Help function in the Password Self-Service kiosk browser to prevent navigation to arbitrary web pages from the lock screen. 3. Implement strict application whitelisting and endpoint detection controls to monitor and block unauthorized execution of system utilities such as the Print to PDF feature or Add Printer wizard from untrusted contexts. 4. Enforce workstation lock policies with multi-factor authentication to reduce risk of unauthorized local access. 5. Monitor and audit usage of the Password Manager and kiosk browser components for anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Coordinate with One Identity to obtain and deploy patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 7. Educate users and administrators about the risks of leaving locked workstations unattended and the importance of physical security controls. 8. Consider network segmentation and least privilege principles to limit the impact of a compromised workstation on broader enterprise resources.

Description

The Secure Password extension in One Identity Password Manager before 5.14.4 allows local privilege escalation. The issue arises from a flawed security hardening mechanism within the kiosk browser used to display the Password Self-Service site to end users. Specifically, the application attempts to restrict privileged actions by overriding the native window.print() function. However, this protection can be bypassed by an attacker who accesses the Password Self-Service site from the lock screen and navigates to an attacker-controlled webpage via the Help function. By hosting a crafted web page with JavaScript, the attacker can restore and invoke the window.print() function, launching a SYSTEM-privileged print dialog. From this dialog, the attacker can exploit standard Windows functionality - such as the Print to PDF or Add Printer wizard - to spawn a command prompt with SYSTEM privileges. Successful exploitation allows a local attacker (with access to a locked workstation) to gain SYSTEM-level privileges, granting full control over the affected device.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-27582 can be severe. The vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to a locked workstation to escalate privileges to SYSTEM level, effectively compromising the entire device. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive credentials managed by One Identity Password Manager, lateral movement within the network, data exfiltration, and disruption of business operations. Given that password managers are critical security infrastructure components, their compromise undermines organizational security posture and can facilitate further attacks such as ransomware deployment or espionage. In sectors with strict regulatory requirements like finance, healthcare, and government, such a breach could result in significant compliance violations under GDPR and other data protection laws, leading to heavy fines and reputational damage. The ability to exploit this vulnerability from a locked screen also raises concerns about insider threats or unauthorized physical access scenarios common in shared office environments or remote work setups. Therefore, the vulnerability threatens confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical systems and data within European enterprises.

When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
