Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-29007 is a security vulnerability classified under CWE-862, which denotes a Missing Authorization issue in the LMSACE Connect product by LMSACE. This vulnerability arises due to incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing an attacker with limited privileges (PR:L - privileges required: low) to perform unauthorized actions that should be restricted. The vulnerability affects all versions of LMSACE Connect up to and including version 3.4, although the exact affected versions are not explicitly specified. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reveals that the attack can be executed remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L) but no user interaction (UI:N). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), and the impact is limited to integrity (I:L) with no impact on confidentiality (C:N) or availability (A:N). This means an attacker can manipulate or alter data or system state without authorization but cannot access confidential information or disrupt system availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, indicating that the vulnerability is newly disclosed and may require immediate attention from LMSACE Connect users. The root cause is a failure to enforce proper authorization checks, which could allow unauthorized users to perform actions beyond their intended permissions, potentially leading to data tampering or unauthorized configuration changes within the LMSACE Connect environment.

Potential Impact

For European organizations using LMSACE Connect, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data manipulation or unauthorized changes within their learning management systems. Although the confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity compromise could lead to altered course content, user data, or system configurations, undermining trust in the platform and potentially causing operational disruptions. Organizations in sectors such as education, corporate training, and government agencies relying on LMSACE Connect for critical training and compliance management could face compliance issues, reputational damage, and operational inefficiencies. The remote exploitability and lack of required user interaction increase the risk of automated or targeted attacks, especially in environments where users have low privilege accounts that could be leveraged by attackers. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the medium severity rating suggests that attackers could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges or perform unauthorized actions, which could be a stepping stone for further attacks within the network.

Mitigation Recommendations

European organizations should immediately review and tighten access control configurations within LMSACE Connect, ensuring that authorization checks are correctly implemented and enforced for all user actions. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should consider implementing compensating controls such as network segmentation to limit access to the LMSACE Connect system, strict monitoring and logging of user activities to detect unauthorized actions, and restricting user privileges to the minimum necessary. Additionally, organizations should engage with LMSACE support to obtain timelines for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. Conducting internal audits and penetration testing focused on access control mechanisms within LMSACE Connect can help identify and remediate potential exploitation paths. Finally, organizations should prepare incident response plans specific to LMSACE Connect to quickly respond to any detected exploitation attempts.
