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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, 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: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

Immediately upgrade Perfex CRM to version 3.3.1 or later, where the authentication bypass vulnerability is patched.
If upgrading is not immediately possible, implement network-level access controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN requirements to restrict access to the CRM login interface.
Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block login requests with empty or malformed credentials.
Enable and monitor detailed authentication logs to detect unusual login attempts, especially those with empty username or password fields.
Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all user accounts, particularly administrative accounts, to add an additional layer of security.
Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on authentication mechanisms.
Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response to any suspicious activity.
Review and limit administrative privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce potential impact if compromised.

Description

CVE-2025-60375 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Perfex CRM versions prior to 3.3.1. Due to insufficient server-side validation, attackers can send empty username and password parameters to bypass login and gain unauthorized access, including to administrative accounts. This flaw allows attackers to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability without any authentication or user interaction. There are no known exploits in the wild yet, but the vulnerability is easily exploitable remotely over the network. European organizations using vulnerable versions of Perfex CRM face significant risks of data breaches and operational disruption. Immediate patching or mitigation is critical to prevent unauthorized access. Countries with higher adoption of Perfex CRM and strategic targets in sectors like finance, government, and services are most at risk. The CVSS score is 7.

Impact

For European organizations using vulnerable versions of Perfex CRM, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized access to sensitive business data and administrative functions. Attackers exploiting this flaw can compromise customer information, internal communications, and operational data, leading to data breaches and potential regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The ability to access administrative accounts increases the risk of further system compromise, including data manipulation, deletion, or deployment of malware. This can disrupt business operations, damage reputation, and incur financial losses. Sectors such as finance, government, healthcare, and professional services that rely on CRM systems for managing sensitive client data are particularly vulnerable. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit means attackers can operate from anywhere, increasing the threat landscape. Additionally, the absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread exploitation occurs.

Summary

CVE-2025-60375 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting Perfex CRM versions before 3.3.1. The root cause is insufficient server-side validation of login credentials, specifically allowing empty username and password parameters to be accepted as valid. This flaw enables attackers to bypass the authentication mechanism entirely and gain unauthorized access to user accounts, including those with administrative privileges. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring any prior authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to attackers. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 reflects a high severity due to the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vulnerability corresponds to CWE-289, which involves improper authentication. Although no public exploits are currently known, the simplicity of the attack vector suggests that exploitation could be straightforward once the vulnerability is discovered. The lack of patch links indicates that organizations must rely on upgrading to Perfex CRM version 3.3.1 or later, where the issue is fixed. This vulnerability threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems by allowing unauthorized data access and potential administrative control, which could lead to data theft, manipulation, or service disruption.

Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A07:2025: Authentication Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product performs authentication based on the name of a resource being accessed, or the name of the actor performing the access, but it does not properly check all possible names for that resource or actor.
Architecture and Design · Input Validation
Avoid making decisions based on names of resources (e.g. files) if those resources can have alternate names.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).
