CVE Alert: CVE-2025-10161 – Turkguven Software Technologies Inc. – Perfektive

Risk verdict

High risk with remote exploitation potential; in the absence of KEV/SSVC exploitation state or EPSS data, assume elevated risk and prioritise patching and monitoring.

Why this matters

The flaw enables brute force, authentication bypass and functionality bypass, potentially granting unauthorised access without user interaction. This can lead to unauthorised data exposure and disruption of critical functionality.

Most likely attack path

Attacker targets network-facing authentication endpoints, leveraging low-complexity, no-privilege access to attempt breaches. With no user interaction required and an unchanged scope, a successful bypass could grant access to protected features and degrade integrity and availability.

Who is most exposed

Exposed internet-facing deployments of the affected application are most at risk, especially where authentication or admin interfaces are reachable publicly.

Detection ideas

• Sudden spikes in failed login attempts from single IPs or small IP sets
• Unusual successful logins following prior failures
• Anomalous token or session creation requests targeting auth endpoints
• Access to sensitive functions without expected credential checks in logs
• Alerts for atypical authentication flow patterns from diverse geolocations

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply the vendor patch to the patched release as soon as available
• If patching is delayed, implement compensating controls: rate limiting on auth endpoints, MFA required for access, and strict account lockout after failed attempts
• Enable web application firewall rules to block brute-force and bypass-like traffic
• Restrict access to admin/auth endpoints by network controls and allowlisting
• Change management: test the patch in a staging environment and plan a controlled prod rollout with rollback options
