CVE-2025-67793 is a privilege escalation vulnerability identified in DriveLock versions 24.1 through 24.2.*, and 25.1 prior to 25.1.6. The flaw allows users who have the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege—commonly granted to Administrators—to promote themselves or other DOC users to the Supervisor role via an API call. The Supervisor role likely has elevated permissions beyond those of a standard Administrator, potentially granting full control over the system or sensitive data. This vulnerability is particularly impactful in cloud multi-tenant deployments where role-based access control is essential to isolate tenant environments and prevent privilege abuse. On-premises single-tenant deployments are less affected because local administrators typically already possess Supervisor privileges, reducing the impact of this escalation. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond possessing the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege, which is included by default in the Administrator role, making exploitation feasible by any administrator-level user. No public exploits or CVSS scores have been published yet, and patches are not explicitly linked but presumably will be issued. The issue was reserved and published in December 2025, indicating recent discovery and disclosure. The vulnerability could allow attackers or malicious insiders to gain unauthorized elevated access, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized configuration changes, or disruption of services.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for those utilizing DriveLock in cloud multi-tenant environments. Unauthorized elevation to the Supervisor role could allow attackers or malicious insiders to bypass existing access controls, leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. This could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information and disrupt availability through malicious configuration changes or denial-of-service actions. The impact is heightened in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, where data protection and operational continuity are paramount. Since the vulnerability leverages privileges already granted to administrators, insider threats or compromised admin accounts become a critical concern. The lack of public exploits currently reduces immediate risk, but the potential for abuse remains high once the vulnerability is known. European organizations relying on cloud multi-tenant deployments of DriveLock must consider the risk of cross-tenant attacks or privilege abuse within their environments.

European organizations should immediately audit all users with the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege and restrict this permission to the minimum necessary personnel. Implement strict role-based access controls and monitor API calls related to role management for suspicious activity. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrator accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Network segmentation and tenant isolation should be reviewed and strengthened to limit lateral movement in cloud environments. Organizations should stay alert for official patches or updates from DriveLock and apply them promptly once available. Additionally, implement logging and alerting on privilege changes, especially promotions to the Supervisor role, to detect and respond to unauthorized escalations quickly. Conduct regular security awareness training for administrators to recognize and report suspicious activities. Finally, consider engaging with DriveLock support or security teams to understand deployment-specific risks and mitigation strategies.
