CVE-2025-14716

Vulnerability

Analysis

CVE-2025-14716 is an improper authentication vulnerability found in the webserver modules of Secomea GateManager [1]. The root cause lies in how the product validates user identity before granting access to protected resources; an authentication bypass flaw exists that enables an attacker to circumvent the intended login mechanism [1]. This issue specifically impacts GateManager version 11.4.0 [1].

Exploitation

Exploitation of this vulnerability does not require prior authentication, as the flaw directly undermines the authentication process itself [1]. An attacker can send crafted requests to the webserver module to bypass the authentication checks and gain unauthorized access to the system [1]. The attack vector is network-based, allowing remote exploitation without needing physical access or user interaction [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation of the authentication bypass leads to unauthorized access to GateManager's functionality and data [1]. An attacker can potentially access sensitive configuration information, manipulate system settings, or use the device as a pivot point within the network, depending on the privileges the webserver module possesses [1]. The CVSS v3 base score of 6.5 (Medium) reflects the seriousness of this authentication bypass [1].

Mitigation

Secomea has acknowledged this vulnerability and directs users to their cybersecurity advisory page for updates on fixes and remediation [1]. Users are advised to check regularly for patch releases and apply them promptly to protect their GateManager installations [1]. No workaround details have been provided at this time, but the vendor typically addresses medium-severity issues within 30 business days [1].
