It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-4235 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Palo Alto Networks User-ID Credential Agent. 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-2025-4235/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4235/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-4235","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4235/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-4235","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x6h5-43x9-rq83"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"User-ID Credential Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged users can expose service account passwords in specific configurations, enabling privilege escalation and network security policy bypass.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:L/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/AU:N/R:U/V:D/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-497","name":"Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere"}],"description":"An information exposure vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks User-ID Credential Agent (Windows-based) can expose the service account password under specific non-default configurations.
