## What is CVE-2025-7204?

CVE-2025-7204 is a medium-severity vulnerability in ConnectWise PSA, published on 9 Jul 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In ConnectWise PSA versions older than 2025.9, a
vulnerability exists where authenticated users could gain access to sensitive
user information. Specific API requests were found to return an overly verbose
user object, which included encrypted password hashes for other users.
Authenticated users could then retrieve these hashes. 

An
attacker or privileged user could then use these exposed hashes to conduct
offline brute-force or dictionary attacks. Such attacks could lead to
credential compromise, allowing unauthorized access to accounts, and
potentially privilege escalation within the system.

Weakness: CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data)
