What is CVE-2025-59099?
CVE-2025-59099 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in dormakaba Access Manager 92xx-k5, published on 26 Jan 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Access Manager is using the open source web server CompactWebServer written in C#. This web server is affected by a path traversal vulnerability, which allows an attacker to directly access files via simple GET requests without prior authentication.
Hence, it is possible to retrieve all files stored on the file system, including the SQLite database Database.sq3, containing badge information and the corresponding PIN codes. Additionally, when trying to access certain files, the web server crashes and becomes unreachable for about 60 seconds. This can be abused to continuously send the request and cause denial of service.
Weakness: CWE-35
