CVE-2025-64309 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-523 (Unprotected Transport of Credentials) found in Brightpick AI's Brightpick Mission Control / Internal Logic Control product. The flaw arises because the product discloses sensitive device telemetry, configuration data, and credential information over WebSocket connections to any unauthenticated user who connects to a specific URL endpoint. This URL is not protected by authentication or authorization mechanisms and can be discovered through straightforward network scanning techniques, such as port scanning or service enumeration. The vulnerability affects all versions of the product, indicating a systemic design or implementation flaw. The WebSocket protocol used for communication transmits sensitive data in cleartext or without adequate access controls, enabling attackers to intercept or directly receive confidential information. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.6, reflecting a network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and a scope change (S:C) with high confidentiality impact (C:H), but no impact on integrity (I:N) or availability (A:N). Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a significant risk for unauthorized data disclosure. The lack of patches or mitigations from the vendor at the time of publication further exacerbates the threat. This vulnerability could be leveraged by attackers to gather intelligence on device configurations and credentials, potentially facilitating lateral movement, privilege escalation, or targeted attacks against industrial or operational technology environments managed by Brightpick Mission Control.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-64309 is primarily the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive telemetry and credential information, which can compromise confidentiality and enable further attacks. Organizations relying on Brightpick Mission Control for industrial automation, operational technology, or critical infrastructure management could face increased risks of espionage, sabotage, or data theft. The exposure of credentials may allow attackers to gain deeper access to internal networks or control systems, potentially leading to operational disruptions or safety hazards. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction increases the likelihood of reconnaissance and targeted attacks. This is particularly concerning for sectors such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and utilities, which are prevalent in Europe and often use such control systems. The absence of a patch means organizations must rely on compensating controls to mitigate risk. Additionally, the vulnerability could undermine compliance with European data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) if personal or sensitive data is involved, leading to legal and reputational consequences.

To mitigate CVE-2025-64309, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict network access to the vulnerable WebSocket endpoint by applying firewall rules or network segmentation to limit connections only to trusted and authenticated users or systems. 2) Deploy strong authentication and authorization mechanisms on the Brightpick Mission Control interface, ensuring that sensitive endpoints are not accessible without proper credentials. 3) Monitor network traffic for unusual WebSocket connection attempts, especially from unauthorized IP addresses, and establish alerts for suspicious activity. 4) Conduct thorough network scans internally to identify the presence of the vulnerable URL and assess exposure. 5) Engage with Brightpick AI for updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. 6) Consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) capable of inspecting WebSocket traffic for unauthorized data access. 7) Review and rotate credentials exposed by the vulnerability to prevent misuse. 8) Implement strict logging and auditing of access to control systems to detect and respond to potential exploitation attempts. 9) Educate operational technology and IT teams about the vulnerability and the importance of securing WebSocket communications. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, monitoring, and credential management tailored to the specific nature of this vulnerability.
