What is CVE-2020-25276?

CVE-2020-25276 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 11 Sep 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

An issue was discovered in PrimeKey EJBCA 6.x and 7.x before 7.4.1. When using a client certificate to enroll over the EST protocol, no revocation check is performed on that certificate. This vulnerability can only affect a system that has EST configured, uses client certificates to authenticate enrollment, and has had such a certificate revoked. This certificate needs to belong to a role that is authorized to enroll new end entities. (To completely mitigate this problem prior to upgrade, remove any revoked client certificates from their respective roles.)

Weakness: CWE-295
