CVE-2025-67791 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting DriveLock endpoint security software versions 24.1 through 25.1. The root cause is an incomplete configuration related to agent authentication within the DriveLock tenant environment, specifically impacting the DriveLock Enterprise Service (DES). This flaw allows attackers on the same network to impersonate any DriveLock agent without requiring authentication, effectively bypassing security controls designed to validate agent identity. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-287 (Improper Authentication). With a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Exploiting this vulnerability enables attackers to intercept, manipulate, or disrupt endpoint security communications, potentially disabling protections or injecting malicious commands. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild yet, the critical severity and ease of exploitation make it a high priority for remediation. The vulnerability affects multiple DriveLock versions, indicating a systemic issue in the authentication mechanism of the DES component. Organizations relying on DriveLock for endpoint protection must urgently assess their configurations and monitor for suspicious agent activity to prevent compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67791 is severe. DriveLock is widely used in Europe, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, where endpoint security compliance is stringent. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to endpoint management systems, allowing attackers to disable security controls, exfiltrate sensitive data, or propagate malware across the network. This undermines the confidentiality and integrity of corporate data and can cause significant operational disruption. Critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government agencies are at heightened risk due to their reliance on endpoint security solutions like DriveLock. The vulnerability's network-level exploitation means attackers can operate remotely within the local network, increasing the risk of lateral movement and widespread compromise. Additionally, the lack of required privileges or user interaction lowers the barrier for attackers, making it easier for cybercriminals or state-sponsored actors to exploit this flaw. The potential for data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR), and reputational damage is substantial, necessitating immediate action.

To mitigate CVE-2025-67791, European organizations should take the following specific steps: 1) Immediately review and harden DriveLock tenant configurations, ensuring that agent authentication settings are complete and correctly enforced. 2) Apply any available patches or updates from DriveLock vendors as soon as they are released; monitor vendor communications closely. 3) Implement network segmentation to isolate DriveLock agents and the DES from general network traffic, reducing the attack surface. 4) Deploy network monitoring and anomaly detection tools focused on identifying unusual agent authentication attempts or impersonation behaviors. 5) Enforce strict access controls and logging on the DriveLock Enterprise Service to detect and respond to suspicious activities promptly. 6) Conduct internal audits and penetration tests simulating agent impersonation to validate the effectiveness of mitigations. 7) Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid incident response capability. 8) Consider deploying multi-factor authentication or additional verification layers for agent communications if supported by DriveLock. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on configuration validation, network architecture, and proactive detection tailored to this specific vulnerability.
