CVE-2025-70044 identifies a security vulnerability in fofolee uTools-quickcommand version 5.0.3, specifically related to improper certificate validation, classified under CWE-295. This weakness means the software does not correctly verify the authenticity of TLS/SSL certificates during secure communications, potentially allowing attackers to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Such attacks could enable interception, modification, or spoofing of data exchanged between the client and servers, undermining confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring any privileges or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 reflects a medium severity, with attack vector being network-based, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The scope remains unchanged, and the impact affects confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patches or official remediation guidance have been released at the time of publication, and no exploits have been observed in the wild. The vulnerability was reserved in early 2026 and published shortly thereafter, indicating recent discovery. Organizations relying on this tool for command automation or scripting should be aware of the risk of compromised secure communications and consider interim mitigations until a patch is available.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-70044 is the potential compromise of confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted by fofolee uTools-quickcommand. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could intercept sensitive information, inject malicious commands, or manipulate data streams, leading to unauthorized access or control over automated processes. Although availability is not directly affected, the integrity breach could cause operational disruptions or erroneous command execution. Given the tool’s role in command automation, such manipulation could cascade into broader system compromises or data leakage. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements makes exploitation easier and increases the attack surface, especially in environments where the tool communicates over untrusted networks. Organizations worldwide using this software in critical infrastructure, development, or operational environments face risks of espionage, sabotage, or data theft. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate future risk once exploit code becomes available.

Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement network-level mitigations such as enforcing strict TLS interception policies, using network segmentation to isolate systems running fofolee uTools-quickcommand, and monitoring network traffic for anomalies indicative of MITM attacks. Employing endpoint security solutions that can detect unusual process behavior or network connections related to the tool may help identify exploitation attempts. Administrators should verify the authenticity of certificates manually where possible and avoid using the tool over untrusted or public networks. Additionally, consider temporarily disabling or restricting the use of uTools-quickcommand in sensitive environments. Keeping software inventories updated and preparing for rapid deployment of patches once available is critical. Engaging with the vendor for updates and guidance is recommended. Finally, educating users and administrators about the risks of improper certificate validation can reduce inadvertent exposure.
