CVE-2025-46070 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability identified in Automai BotManager version 25.2.0. The vulnerability resides in the BotManager.exe component, which is responsible for managing automation bots within enterprise environments. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without authentication to execute arbitrary code on the target system. This means the attacker could run malicious commands or payloads, potentially gaining full control over the affected host. The vulnerability was reserved in April 2025 and published in January 2026, but no CVSS score or patch information is currently available, and no exploits have been observed in the wild. Automai BotManager is typically used to automate business processes and workflows, making it a critical component in many organizations' IT infrastructure. The lack of authentication requirement and remote attack vector significantly increase the risk profile. The vulnerability could be exploited via network access to the BotManager.exe service, allowing attackers to bypass security controls and compromise systems. This could lead to data theft, disruption of automated processes, and lateral movement within corporate networks.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-46070 could be severe. Organizations relying on Automai BotManager for critical automation tasks may face operational disruptions if exploited. Confidentiality could be compromised through unauthorized data access or exfiltration. Integrity risks arise from potential manipulation of automated workflows, leading to incorrect or malicious business process execution. Availability could be affected if attackers deploy ransomware or cause system crashes. Sectors such as finance, manufacturing, telecommunications, and public services that use automation extensively are particularly vulnerable. The ability to execute code remotely without authentication means attackers can quickly compromise systems, potentially leading to widespread network infiltration. This vulnerability also increases the risk of supply chain attacks if automation tools are used to manage third-party integrations. European data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) impose strict requirements on data security, so breaches resulting from this vulnerability could lead to regulatory penalties and reputational damage.

Until an official patch is released, European organizations should implement network segmentation to isolate systems running Automai BotManager, limiting exposure to untrusted networks. Restrict inbound network access to the BotManager.exe service using firewalls and access control lists. Employ intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor for anomalous activity targeting the BotManager component. Conduct thorough logging and continuous monitoring of automation servers for signs of exploitation attempts. Apply the principle of least privilege to accounts and services interacting with BotManager to reduce potential attack surface. Engage with Automai for timely updates and patches, and prioritize patch deployment once available. Consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect and respond to suspicious code execution. Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on automation infrastructure. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid incident response capability.
