CVE-2025-46067 is a remote privilege escalation vulnerability found in Automai Director version 25.2.0. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of crafted JavaScript files, which an attacker can leverage to escalate privileges beyond their authorized level and extract sensitive information from the system. Automai Director is an automation and testing platform used to streamline business processes and software testing. The flaw allows attackers to remotely execute malicious JavaScript code that bypasses security controls, leading to unauthorized access and potential data leakage. Although no CVSS score or patch has been published yet, the vulnerability is confirmed and publicly disclosed as of January 2026. No known exploits have been detected in the wild, but the lack of authentication requirements and remote attack vector increase the risk. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity primarily, with possible availability implications if attackers disrupt automation workflows. The absence of detailed CWE classification limits precise technical categorization, but the core issue relates to insecure code execution and privilege management. Organizations using Automai Director should prioritize monitoring for vendor patches and consider interim mitigations such as restricting access to the application, validating input files, and isolating affected systems to reduce attack surface.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-46067 could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation within critical automation and testing environments, resulting in exposure of sensitive corporate data and disruption of automated workflows. This could affect sectors heavily reliant on automation tools, including finance, manufacturing, telecommunications, and public services. The breach of confidentiality and integrity could lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to data exposure. Operational disruptions may cause financial losses and damage to organizational reputation. Since Automai Director is used globally, European entities with extensive automation deployments are at risk, especially those with less mature security controls around software supply chain and automation platforms. The remote nature of the attack vector increases the likelihood of exploitation if network access controls are insufficient. The lack of a patch or mitigation guidance from the vendor further elevates the risk profile until a fix is available.

1. Immediately restrict network access to Automai Director instances, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks only. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all JavaScript files processed by Automai Director to prevent execution of crafted malicious scripts. 3. Employ application-layer firewalls or runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block anomalous script execution. 4. Monitor logs and system behavior for signs of privilege escalation attempts or unauthorized access. 5. Isolate Automai Director environments from critical production systems to contain potential breaches. 6. Engage with the vendor for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 7. Conduct security awareness training for administrators on the risks of processing untrusted scripts. 8. Review and enforce the principle of least privilege for all user accounts interacting with Automai Director. 9. Consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to identify suspicious activities related to this vulnerability. 10. Prepare incident response plans specific to automation platform compromises.
