It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-5494 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zohocorp Endpoint Central. 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-2025-5494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-5494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-5494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-5494/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-5494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hwj5-gqwh-gh6c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint management software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges via improper privilege management in the agent setup of ManageEngine Endpoint Central.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zohocorp","cpe":[{"product":"manageengine_endpoint_central","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":3.9,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"ZohoCorp ManageEngine Endpoint Central was impacted by an improper privilege management issue in the agent setup.\n\nThis issue affects Endpoint Central: through 11.4.2500.25, through 11.4.2508.13.","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":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-5494","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Netgear WNR614 URL improper authentication","id":"CVE-2025-5495"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Baison Channel Middleware Product ToJsonByControlName sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-5493"},"products":["Endpoint Central"],"published":"2025-09-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Incorrect Authorization","id":"CVE-2024-38868","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-30"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Agent Arbitrary File Deletion","id":"CVE-2024-10203","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-07"},{"cvss_score":5.2,"headline":"XML Injection","id":"CVE-2025-7473","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-21"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"IDOR","id":"CVE-2024-9097","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-05"},{"cvss_score":3.3,"headline":"Arbitrary File Deletion","id":"CVE-2025-5496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-21"},{"cvss_score":3.2,"headline":"Sensitive Information Logged","id":"CVE-2025-11248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-27"}],"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":"2025-09-25","vendors":["Zohocorp"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges via improper privilege management in the agent setup of ManageEngine Endpoint Central.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-5494/"}
