What to do
AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2025-57605, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately audit and restrict access to the department admin assignment APIs, ensuring only authorized personnel can invoke these endpoints. 2) Apply strict server-side authorization checks that validate whether the authenticated user has the right to assign admin roles within the targeted department before processing any requests. 3) Monitor API usage logs for anomalous privilege assignment activities, such as users assigning themselves or others as admins across departments. 4) Employ role-based access control (RBAC) policies with the principle of least privilege to limit the scope of user permissions. 5) If available, deploy any patches or updates released by AiKaan promptly; if no patches exist, consider implementing compensating controls such as network segmentation or API gateways with additional authorization enforcement. 6) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on authorization mechanisms within the IoT platform. 7) Educate administrators and users about the risks of privilege escalation and encourage reporting of suspicious activities.
Description
Lack of server-side authorisation on department admin assignment APIs in AiKaan IoT Platform allows authenticated users to elevate their privileges by assigning themselves as admins of other departments. This results in unauthorized privilege escalation across the department
