## What is CVE-2025-7389?

CVE-2025-7389 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Progress Software Corporation OpenEdge, published on 14 Apr 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

A vulnerability in the AdminServer component of OpenEdge on all supported platforms grants its authenticated users OS-level access to the server
through the adopted authority of the AdminServer process itself.  The delegated authority of the AdminServer could allow its users the ability to read arbitrary files on the host system through the misuse of the setFile() and openFile()
 methods exposed through the RMI interface.  Misuse was limited only by OS-level authority of the AdminServer's elevated 
privileges granted and the user's access to these methods enabled through RMI.  The exploitable methods have been removed thus eliminating their access through RMI or downstream of the RMI registry.

Weakness: CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties)

What it is: CVE-2025-7389 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Progress Software Corporation OpenEdge, published on 14 Apr 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-7389 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Progress Software Corporation OpenEdge. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
