FaceSentry Access Control System, published on 7 Jan 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2019-25278 exists.\n\nAffected product: iWT Ltd. FaceSentry Access Control System. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-25278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-25278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-25278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-25278/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-25278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6xfj-m9cp-qj5j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Access Control System","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can intercept authentication credentials via man-in-the-middle attacks due to cleartext transmission in FaceSentry Access Control System.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"facesentry_access_control_system_firmware","vendor":"iwt"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-319","name":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"FaceSentry Access Control System 6.4.8 contains a cleartext transmission vulnerability that allows remote attackers to intercept authentication credentials.
