CVE-2025-68644 identifies a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Yealink's Remote Provisioning Service (RPS) affecting versions prior to the 2025-06-27 patch. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-290, indicating improper authentication mechanisms that allow attackers to spoof credentials or bypass authentication entirely. This flaw enables unauthorized remote attackers to gain access to sensitive provisioning information, including AutoP URL addresses, which are used to automatically configure Yealink VoIP devices. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring any user interaction or prior authentication, although the attack complexity is considered high due to the need to craft specific spoofing attempts. The impact primarily compromises confidentiality and integrity, as attackers can retrieve sensitive configuration data and potentially manipulate provisioning workflows. Availability is not impacted by this vulnerability. Yealink mitigated the issue by deploying an enhanced authentication mechanism across all cloud-hosted RPS instances, strengthening the verification process and preventing unauthorized access. No known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.4, reflecting a high severity level due to the remote network attack vector, lack of required privileges, and significant confidentiality and integrity impact. This vulnerability is particularly relevant for organizations relying on Yealink RPS for managing large fleets of VoIP devices, as compromised provisioning data could lead to broader security risks within enterprise telephony infrastructure.

For European organizations, the vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of VoIP provisioning data managed via Yealink RPS. Unauthorized access to AutoP URLs and related configuration information could allow attackers to intercept or manipulate device provisioning, potentially leading to interception of calls, insertion of malicious configurations, or disruption of telephony services indirectly. This could impact sectors with high reliance on VoIP communications such as finance, government, healthcare, and large enterprises. The breach of provisioning data may also facilitate further lateral attacks within corporate networks. Given the remote exploitability without authentication or user interaction, the threat surface is broad for any organization using vulnerable Yealink RPS versions. However, the high attack complexity somewhat limits widespread exploitation. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future attacks. Organizations failing to update their RPS instances remain vulnerable to targeted attacks that could compromise sensitive communications infrastructure.

European organizations should immediately verify the version of Yealink RPS in use and ensure it is updated to the version released on or after 2025-06-27 that includes the enhanced authentication mechanism. Since the patch is deployed to all cloud instances, organizations using cloud-hosted RPS should confirm with their service provider that the update has been applied. For on-premises deployments, apply vendor-provided patches without delay. Additionally, restrict network access to RPS management interfaces using network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted IP addresses only. Implement strong monitoring and logging of access to RPS systems to detect any unauthorized attempts. Review and enforce strict access control policies for provisioning systems and credentials. Consider employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible for administrative access to provisioning services. Regularly audit provisioning URLs and device configurations for anomalies that may indicate compromise. Finally, maintain an incident response plan that includes scenarios involving telephony infrastructure compromise.
