An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-25246 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-25246 is a critical vulnerability in PTC Axeda Desktop Server for Windows, published on 16 Mar 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-25246 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PTC Axeda Desktop Server for Windows. 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-2022-25246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-25246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25246/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-25246","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r24p-mxfv-r3vm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PTC Axeda agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Hard-coded credentials in PTC Axeda allow remote attackers to gain full control of the host operating system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"axeda_agent","vendor":"ptc"},{"product":"axeda_desktop_server","vendor":"ptc"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Axeda agent (All versions) and Axeda Desktop Server for Windows (All versions) uses hard-coded credentials for its UltraVNC installation.
