Title: Xorux LPAR2RRD Read Only User Log Download Exposing Sensitive Information
Advisory ID: KL-001-2025-015
Publication Date: 2025-07-28
Publication URL: https://korelogic.com/Resources/Advisories/KL-001-2025-015.txt


1. Vulnerability Details

     Affected Vendor: Xorux
     Affected Product: LPAR2RRD
     Affected Version: 8.04 and prior
     Platform: Rocky Linux 8.10
     CWE Classification: CWE-648: Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs
     CVE ID: CVE-2025-54768


2. Vulnerability Description

     An API endpoint that should be limited to web application
     administrators is hidden from, but accessible by, lower-level
     read only web application users. The endpoint can be used
     to download logs from the appliance configuration, exposing
     sensitive information.


3. Technical Description

     A read-only user can access a web application endpoint by which
     logs are downloaded. The logs are in tar.gz format, and can
     be extracted to reveal sensitive information that a read-only
     user should not be privileged to view. These files include
     password hashes for all users within the Xormon Original web
     application. An authenticated, read-only attacker could leverage
     this vulnerability to obtain and attempt to crack password
     hashes for more privileged users, including the admin user.


4. Mitigation and Remediation Recommendation

     Xorux released version 8.05, which includes a remediation
     for this vulnerability. See https://lpar2rrd.com/note800.php.


5. Credit
