CVE-2025-5519 is a vulnerability identified in the ArgusTech BILGER product, specifically affecting versions prior to 2.4.6. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-201, which involves the insertion of sensitive information into sent data. In this case, the flaw allows an attacker to choose the message identifier within the communication protocol or data exchange process of BILGER. This can lead to sensitive information being embedded or leaked within messages sent by the system. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L) shows that the attack can be performed remotely over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction. The attack complexity is low, and the scope is unchanged, meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component. The confidentiality impact is low, implying some sensitive data may be exposed, but the integrity impact is none, and availability impact is low, indicating minor disruption may occur. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The vulnerability likely arises from improper handling or validation of message identifiers, allowing an attacker to manipulate outgoing data to include sensitive information unintentionally. This could be exploited to leak information that should remain confidential, potentially aiding further attacks or data breaches.

For European organizations using ArgusTech BILGER, this vulnerability poses a risk of sensitive information leakage through manipulated message identifiers. Although the confidentiality impact is rated low, even limited exposure of sensitive data can have regulatory and reputational consequences under the EU's GDPR framework. The availability impact, while low, could cause minor disruptions in business processes relying on BILGER communications. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers could leverage this flaw to gather intelligence or gain footholds in networks. Sectors with high reliance on ArgusTech BILGER, such as industrial control systems, manufacturing, or critical infrastructure, may face increased risk. The exposure of sensitive operational data could facilitate espionage or sabotage attempts. Additionally, the lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future exploitation, especially as threat actors often weaponize such vulnerabilities once publicly disclosed.

European organizations should prioritize updating ArgusTech BILGER to version 2.4.6 or later, where this vulnerability is addressed. In the absence of an official patch, organizations should implement network-level controls such as restricting access to BILGER services to trusted IP ranges and employing intrusion detection systems to monitor anomalous message patterns. Configuring logging and alerting on unusual message identifier usage can help detect exploitation attempts. Additionally, applying data loss prevention (DLP) solutions to monitor outgoing communications for sensitive information leakage is advisable. Organizations should conduct thorough audits of their BILGER configurations to ensure minimal exposure of sensitive data in messages and review internal policies on data handling within the system. Engaging with ArgusTech support for guidance and monitoring threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploits related to CVE-2025-5519 is also recommended.
