An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36228 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Aspera Faspex 5. 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-2025-36228/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36228/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36228","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36228/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36228","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cqcr-6gvh-8xmg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Aspera Faspex","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass UI restrictions to access disabled features via the backend API, leading to potential misuse of IBM Aspera Faspex.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aspera_faspex","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":3.8,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-279","name":"Incorrect Execution-Assigned Permissions"}],"description":"IBM Aspera Faspex 5 5.0.0 through 5.0.14.1 may allow inconsistent permissions between the user interface and backend API allowed users to access features that appeared disabled, potentially leading to misuse.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Incorrect Execution-Assigned Permissions in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2025-36228","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2025-36229"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2025-36227"},"products":["Aspera Faspex 5"],"published":"2025-12-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-47986","kev_date_added":"2023-02-21","published":"2023-02-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex XML external entity injection","id":"CVE-2023-27874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"OS command injection in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2026-14958","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"OS Command Injection in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2026-14959","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2026-14996","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2023-37400","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex improper access control","id":"CVE-2023-30995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-26","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass UI restrictions to access disabled features via the backend API, leading to potential misuse of IBM Aspera Faspex.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36228/"}
