Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: Present: The successful attack depends on the presence of specific deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system that enable the attack. These include: a race condition must be won to successfully exploit the vulnerability (the successfulness of the attack is conditioned on execution conditions that are not under full control of the attacker, or the attack may need to be launched multiple times against a single target before being successful); the attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim (e.g. vulnerabilities requiring an on-path attacker).
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Active: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a targeted user to perform specific, conscious interactions with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload, or the user’s interactions would actively subvert protection mechanisms which would lead to exploitation of the vulnerability.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediately restrict network access to the dormakaba Access Manager web interface to trusted administrative networks only, using firewalls or VLAN segmentation to prevent unauthorized external access. 2. Monitor the device’s file system and web server logs for any unexpected access to the database export path or presence of exported database files. 3. Implement strict access control policies on the web interface, including multi-factor authentication and IP whitelisting where possible. 4. Regularly reboot the device manually if automatic reboot fails after database export to ensure deletion of exported files. 5. If feasible, disable or restrict the database export functionality until a vendor patch is available. 6. Engage with dormakaba support to obtain patches or firmware updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they are released. 7. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration tests focusing on physical access control systems to detect potential exploitation. 8. Educate security and IT staff about this vulnerability and the importance of monitoring and controlling access to these devices. 9. Consider deploying network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) to alert on suspicious HTTP requests targeting the export path. 10. Maintain an incident response plan tailored to physical security breaches involving access control systems.

Description

The web interface offers a functionality to export the internal SQLite database. After executing the database export, an automatic download is started and the device reboots. After rebooting, the exported database is deleted and cannot be accessed anymore. However, it was noticed that sometimes the device does not reboot and therefore the exported database is not deleted, or the device reboots and the export is not deleted for unknown reasons. The path where the database export is located can be accessed without prior authentication. This leads to the fact that an attacker might be able to get access to the exported database without prior authentication. The database includes sensitive data like passwords, card pins, encrypted Mifare sitekeys and much more.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive access control data, including passwords, card PINs, and encrypted sitekeys. Such data exposure could enable attackers to bypass physical security controls, impersonate authorized personnel, or escalate privileges within secure facilities. The risk is particularly high for organizations relying on dormakaba Access Manager 92xx-k5 for managing access to critical infrastructure, government buildings, or corporate offices. Confidentiality breaches could result in theft, espionage, or sabotage. Additionally, the exposure of encrypted keys might facilitate cryptographic attacks or cloning of access cards. The intermittent failure of the device to delete exported databases increases the attack window. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely over the network, it significantly lowers the barrier for attackers. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate ease of exploitation combined with high confidentiality impact. Overall, this vulnerability threatens both physical and information security postures of affected European entities.

Summary

CVE-2025-59100 is an improper authorization vulnerability (CWE-285) found in dormakaba Access Manager 92xx-k5 devices, specifically in versions prior to XAMB 04.06.212. The affected product provides a web interface feature to export its internal SQLite database, which contains highly sensitive information including user passwords, card PINs, and encrypted Mifare sitekeys used for physical access control. Upon initiating the export, the device is designed to automatically download the database and then reboot, which triggers deletion of the exported file to prevent unauthorized access. However, due to inconsistent behavior, the device sometimes fails to reboot or fails to delete the exported database after reboot. Critically, the exported database file is accessible via a web path that does not require authentication, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to retrieve the file if it remains present. This vulnerability arises from improper access control on the database export path and unreliable cleanup mechanisms. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requires user interaction (UI:A), with high impact on confidentiality (VC:H) and no impact on integrity or availability. Although no public exploits are currently known, the exposure of sensitive credentials and cryptographic keys poses a significant risk to physical and logical security. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.9. Dormakaba has not yet published patches or mitigation guidance, so affected organizations must rely on compensating controls until updates are available.
